MOSCOW
MOSCOW, SEPTEMBER 16, NOYAN TAPAN - ARMENIANS TODAY. A regular sitting
of the Commission on Monumental Art took place at the Moscow city
duma (council) on September 8. The commission examined the proposal
on creating a sculptural composition dedicated to the victims of the
Armenian Genocide.
The proposal was submitted by the Union of Armenians in Russia,
Yerkramas newspaper of Armenians in Russia reported.
The commission members expressed an opinion that given the readiness
of the initiators to assume the financial obligations for construction
of the monument, it is expedient to instruct the Moscow city duma
to include the above mentioned proposal in the list of proposals
for construction of works of monumental-decorative art of city
importance. The sculptural composition dedicated to the victims of
the Genocide committed in Turkey will be set up next to the Mother
Cathedral (currently under construction) of the Armenian Apostolic
Church's Diocese of Russia and Nor Nakhijevan (at the crossroads of
Trifonovskaya Street and Olimpiyski Avenue in Moscow).
