Monument to Komitas, Bronze monument in Jardin d'Erevan, Paris, France
The bronze statue of Komitas rises six meters high on a white stone base, featuring an antique green patina in the 8th arrondissement.
The Paris council approved the monument in 2001, and Mayor Bertrand Delanoë inaugurated it on April 24, 2003, marking the Armenian genocide remembrance.
The monument includes inscriptions in French and Armenian, honoring both the composer Komitas and 1.5 million victims of the 1915 Armenian genocide.
Located between Pont des Invalides and Grand Palais on Cours Albert 1er, the monument stands within the accessible Jardin d'Erevan public space.
The statue incorporates a khachkar, a traditional Armenian cross-stone, connecting French memorial architecture with Armenian cultural elements.
