William Saroyan statue, Bronze statue in central Yerevan, Armenia.
The 3.2-meter-tall bronze monument depicts William Saroyan standing with his clothing appearing to move in the wind at the intersection of Mashtots Avenue and Moskovyan Street.
The statue was unveiled in December 2008 during Saroyan's centenary celebration, marking UNESCO's declaration of that year as the Year of William Saroyan.
The monument honors the Armenian-American writer who authored over 1500 stories, seven novels, and twelve plays while maintaining strong connections to his Armenian heritage.
The statue's location at the crossroads of two main streets in central Yerevan makes it accessible for visitors exploring the city center.
Sculptor David Yerevantsi, who personally knew Saroyan, created and donated this 500-kilogram bronze statue to the city and Armenian people.
