Zoravar Andranik

Zoravar Andranik, Equestrian memorial in Kentron, Yerevan, Armenia

Zoravar Andranik is an equestrian monument on Tigran Mets Avenue, near Saint Gregory the Illuminator Cathedral in central Yerevan. Sculptor Ara Shiraz and architect Aslan Mkhitaryan made it in bronze and basalt; with its pedestal it stands 9.5 metres tall. Two horses stand beside the mounted general, one for Western Armenia and one for Eastern Armenia.

A memorial stone announcing a second statue of Zoravar Andranik was placed near Saint Gregory the Illuminator Cathedral in 2001, and the monument was unveiled on 25 December 2002. Sculptor Ara Shiraz and architect Aslan Mkhitaryan created it in bronze and basalt, 9.5 metres tall with its pedestal. It is Yerevan's second Andranik statue; the first went up in 1999 in the Vahan Zatikyan park in Malatia-Sebastia.

The two horses flanking Andranik are meant to stand for Western and Eastern Armenia, a symbolic detail explained in Armenian sources about the 2002 monument. The sculptor was Ara Shiraz, a People's Artist of Armenia, and the architect Aslan Mkhitaryan. The statue is the second of Andranik in Yerevan; the first went up in 1999 in Vahan Zatikyan Park in Malatia-Sebastia.

The monument stands on Tigran Mets Avenue in central Yerevan, beside Saint Gregory the Illuminator Cathedral. It is an open-air sculpture with no entrance or ticket, visible at any hour. The bronze and basalt work rises 9.5 metres with its pedestal, so step back across the avenue to see the two horses and the rider together.

The monument is a bronze equestrian group: Andranik rides one horse while a second horse stands beside it. The two horses stand for Western and Eastern Armenia. Sculptor Ara Shiraz and architect Aslan Mkhitaryan made it, and it was unveiled on 25 December 2002.
