NEMESIS

2023

Architect: Tigran Barseghyan

The monument dedicated to the memory of the Armenians who took revenge on the Young Turk leaders who committed the Armenian Genocide in 1915 and the organizers of the massacres of Armenians in Baku in 1918 is located on Alek Manukyan Street, in the fourth section of the Ring Park.

The monument was officially opened on April 25, 2023.

The monument is a monument made of polished granite with a stepped edge that narrows upwards and resembles a "symphony of stones", with a combination of elongated and regular stones, on which the names of the avengers are inscribed. The composition is lightened with rectangular lateral and cross-shaped openings at the top. It is placed on a double pedestal, in the lower stone of which there is a water tap in a circular recess. In front is a cruciform water basin and a fountain. On the sides of the pedestal is a silhouette of the church, a relief, and an open altar.

On the pedestal is inscribed: “1919-1922. THE KNIGHTS OF NATIONAL DIGNITY.”

The names of the participants in the operations are engraved on the frontal facades of the stones: “SOGHOMON TEHLERYAN, ARAM ERKANYAN, YERVAND FUNDUKYAN, ARMEN GARO, MISAK TORLAKYAN, GRIGOR MERJANOV, ARSHAVIR SHIRAKYAN, AVETIK ISAHAKYAN, ARSHAK YEZDANYAN, ARA SARGSYAN, STEPAN TSAGHIKYAN, HRACH PAPAZYAN, ARTASHES GEVORGYAN, SHAHAN NATALI, HAKOB MELKUMOV, PETROS TERPOGHOSYAN.” The back of the monument is inscribed with “NEMESIS,” and the pedestal features a quote from Tehleryan: “THERE ARE JUDGMENTS WHOSE ENFORCEMENT SHOULD NOT BE TRUSTED TO THE COURTS.”

The monument serves as a tribute to the condemnation of the genocide, honors the actions of the heroes who sought justice, and inspires future generations with a sense of national dignity.
