The statue of Tork Angegh, Cultural heritage monument in Nor Nork District, Yerevan, Armenia.
The statue of Tork Angegh is a copper figure in Nor Nork that depicts a muscular man with raised arms holding a large stone above his head. The work sits on a hilltop and commands the surrounding area with its strong, dynamic pose.
The monument was created by sculptor Karlen Nurijanyan in 1982 to represent a historical Armenian legend in modern times. It was commissioned to maintain the connection to ancient Armenian cultural traditions.
The monument shows a legendary Armenian figure whose story remains part of the cultural memory passed down through generations. Visitors can feel a connection to classical Armenian traditions through the representation of this powerful character.
The site sits on a hilltop in the second part of Nor Nork District and is accessible on foot from various residential areas nearby. It works best to visit on clear days, as the elevation and open ground can make the area quite windy.
The statue captures a moment from ancient times when this legendary hero threw stones at attacking ships to protect his people. This mythological scene is frozen in copper and tells a story of courage and defense.
