Karabakh diary
TO THE MEMORY OF ARTSAKHI MARTYRS
A monument to the martyrs of the Artsakhi war will shortly be erected
in Stepanakert. Famous Artsakhi sculptor Albert Harutyunian has put
the model of the future monument for a contest these days. It is
currently exhibited in the museum of the union of relatives of
perished freedom fighters of Nagorno Karabakh. The first public
attendance has already been held. Seyran Ohanian, defense minister of
NKR, head of the Union of Freedom Fighters of Artsakh dubbed the model
worthy of attention. Meanwhile, he expressed hope that the idea of a
monument immortalizing the memory of freedom fighters will encourage
other sculptors to take part in the contest.
Author of the model Albert Harutyunian thinks its is expedient to
erect the monument in the area linking the WW II Monument and the
freedom fighters' cemetery as a more visible site.
The monument is due to be opened in May 2007.
