The statue of Tigran Mets ( Tigran the Great) is located in Yerevan, behind the residence of the President of the Republic of Armenia. The monument was erected in 2000 in front of the residence, however, on May 2, 2011, at the suggestion of Narek Sargsyan, the chief architect of the republic, the statues of Tigran the Great and Noah were removed to the back of the building, for that reason the size and position of the statues do not suit the facade of the presidential residence.
The sculptor of the statue is the honored artist Levon Tokmajyan. The statue is made of marble, its dimensions are 2.8 x 1.6 x 1.0 m.
This is the second statue of Tigran the Great in Yerevan. The other one is located in Nor Nork district, and the sculptor is Levon Tokmajyan.
