Památník arménsko-českého přátelství, Armenian memorial with khachkar stone at Jindřišská street, Czech Republic.
The Armenian-Czech Friendship Memorial is a red khachkar stone located on Jindřišská street, featuring carved cross patterns and floral ornaments. The monument displays inscriptions on both sides and stands near St. Henry Church in the New Town district.
The memorial was established in 2014, marking official recognition of the Armenian Apostolic Church in the Czech Republic. Its creation represented a turning point in formal relations between the Armenian Church community and the Czech state.
The stone displays a traditional Armenian cross carved with intricate patterns that reflect deep spiritual meaning in Armenian culture. Visitors can observe how this form of memorial expresses both religious faith and artistic identity through carved details.
The memorial is located on Jindřišská street in Prague 1 and is easily accessible by foot from the city center. There are no special access requirements, and visitors can view it freely while walking through the neighborhood.
Armenian script is engraved on the back side of the stone, showing the connection between the two cultures. A small plaque with a dedication from Catholicos Garegin II complements the memorial and honors its religious significance.
