Garegin Nzhdeh Monument

Garegin Nzhdeh Monument, Military leader monument in Yerevan, Armenia.

The Garegin Nzhdeh Monument is a 5.7-metre-tall statue by sculptor Gagik Stepanyan and architect Aslan Mkhitaryan, installed in 2016 in a park near the intersection of Nalbandyan, Arami, Buzand and Hanrapetutyan streets in central Yerevan. It depicts the Armenian statesman and military figure standing upright.

In 2011 the Artists' Union of Armenia held a competition for a sculpture of Garegin Nzhdeh, but no sketch was approved. Yerevan City Hall then launched a second contest with about ten entries; five were shortlisted and Gagik Stepanyan's sketch won by secret ballot. The statue was installed on 25 May 2016 and unveiled on 28 May, First Republic Day, by Mayor Taron Margaryan and Nzhdeh's great-grandson Armen Babayan, with President Serzh Sargsyan present.

The statue was unveiled on 28 May 2016, Armenia's First Republic Day, by mayor Taron Margaryan and Nzhdeh's great-grandson Armen Babayan, with President Serzh Sargsyan present. Sculptor Gagik Stepanyan's winning sketch was chosen by secret ballot from about ten entries; rivals showed Nzhdeh on horseback or armed, which the organisers rejected.

The monument stands in a park bounded by Nalbandyan, Arami, Buzand and Hanrapetutyan streets in Yerevan's Kentron district, not on a square. The 5.7-metre statue is outdoors and freely viewable; approach on foot from those streets.

The 2011 competition held by the Artists' Union of Armenia failed when no sketch was approved. A second contest drew about ten proposals; the winning sketch by sculptor Gagik Stepanyan showed Nzhdeh neither on horseback nor armed, unlike the rejected entries. The statue was installed on 25 May 2016 and unveiled on 28 May, First Republic Day, by Mayor Taron Margaryan and Nzhdeh's great-grandson Armen Babayan, with President Serzh Sargsyan present.
