    TIGRAN PETROSIAN'S BUST UNVEILED IN YEREVAN


    YEREVAN, JUNE 8, NOYAN TAPAN - ARMENIANS TODAY. A bronze bust of
    talented Armenian chess-player, world chess champion Tigran Petrosian
    was unveiled on June 7 in Tigran Petrosian street at Davitashen
    community of Yerevan. The bust's author is sculptor Norayr
    Karganian. The sculpture was made with the sponsorship of RA Defence
    Ministry and Yerevan Mayor's Office.

    As the sculptor mentioned, the monument is still incomplete. By the
    Defence Minister's consent, figures of "thinking youths" will be added
    at the bottom of the monument, who will be "watched" by the "chess
    king" from above. The sculptor also emphasized that "an outstanding
    person should get experience in the course of time and should not have
    any blemish in his biography. Tigran Petrosian was just like this and
    one needed courage for making a monument to him."

    RA Defence Minister, Chairman of the Armenian Chess Federation Serge
    Sargsian, Yerevan Mayor Yervand Zakharian, Head of the community of
    Davitashen Surik Ghukasian, the members of the Armenian chess national
    team who have become winners and others took part in the unveiling
    ceremony.

    As Yerevan Mayor mentioned, the success Armenia has had in the recent
    decade in the sphere of chess is connected with the work done by
    Tigran Petrosian. According to him, today's Turin success is also the
    continuation of Tigran Petrosian's success.

    As Serge Sargsian characterized, Levon Aronian also has all
    possibilities for becoming the world chess champion in the near
    future.

    To recap, Norayr Karganian is also the author of the monument to
    Marshal Baghramian erected in Yerevan.
