MONUMENT TO GEVORG EMIN
2010
Sculptor: Ashot Aramyan (Moscow)
The monument to
the renowned Armenian poet and translator Gevorg Emin (Karlen Grigor Muradyan,
1919-1998) is located in the “Lovers Park” near the “Marshal Baghramyan” metro station of Yerevan. The park was Emin's favorite
place, where he would stroll, rest, and meet with friends.
The solemn
opening of the monument took place on December 11, 2010.
The bronze
sculpture is 1.72 meters high. Sculptor Ashot Aramyan depicted Emin with his
trousers folded, holding an apple, and conversing with his Siamese cat,
emphasizing the poet's directness and simplicity.
In January 2021,
the bronze statue of the cat, which was part of the monument, disappeared. It
has now been restored to its place (as of April 2024).
