Memorial to the victims of the 1915 Genocide. Memorial to the victims of the 1915 Genocide., 1977
Monumental sculptures play a significant role in the architectural design of Yerevan's streets, squares, and parks. Memorials commemorate the victory over Nazi Germany, the 50th anniversary of the October Revolution, the victims of the 1915 genocide, and Mesrop Mashtots, the creator of the Armenian alphabet, among others. The Armenian Genocide Memorial Complex is situated on Tsitsernakaberd Hill. A park established on the hill in 1950 has become one of the capital's largest green spaces. The complex features twelve pylons arranged in a circle, slightly inclined towards the center, which encloses an eternal flame. A basalt wall nearby is intended for bas-reliefs depicting the events of the genocide. A 40-meter, split-stele obelisk stands adjacent. The music of Komitas and Yekmalyan played within the memorial enhances the experience.

Mother Armenia. Mother Armenia (monument), 1977
Mother Armenia (Armenian: Մայր-Հայաստան) is a 54-meter-high monument in Yerevan, Armenia, commemorating the Soviet Union's victory in World War II. The 22-meter-tall statue stands atop a granite pedestal, adorned with Armenian ornamentation, in Victory Park overlooking the city. Originally a statue of Stalin by Sergey Merkurov stood on the pedestal (built in 1950 by architect Rafael Israelyan), but it was removed in 1962. The current statue, a hammered copper work by Ara Harutyunyan (1967), depicts a woman sheathing a sword, symbolizing the strength and grandeur of the motherland. A shield lies at her feet. The sculpture is characterized by stylized hands and austere clothing. A Ministry of Defense museum housed in the base of the monument displays artifacts from World War II and the Karabakh wars, including personal belongings, weapons, documents, and portraits. Military equipment from the era surrounds the pedestal. An eternal flame burns at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier in the square before the monument.
