Tsitsernakaberd, Memorial complex in Yerevan, Armenia.
The memorial features twelve tall basalt slabs arranged in a circle around an eternal flame, with a 44-meter granite stele rising above them.
The construction began in 1966 after mass demonstrations in 1965 marking the 50th anniversary of the Armenian genocide led to Soviet approval.
Every April 24, thousands of people gather at Tsitsernakaberd to lay flowers around the eternal flame, commemorating the victims of the Armenian genocide.
The memorial complex includes a museum with three indoor exhibition halls and one outdoor hall, totaling over 1,000 square meters of display space.
The twelve slabs represent the lost provinces of historic Western Armenia, while the central eternal flame burns in memory of 1.5 million victims.
