The monument dedicated to Hayk Nahapet, the eponymous ancestor of the Armenian people, is located in the 2nd district of Nork. It was originally installed in the city center, near the “Moscow” cinema. It was moved to Nor Nork in 1975.
The presence of unprocessed basalt pieces under Hayk's feet creates a natural environment for the monument. In Hayk's hands is a drawn bow, on his back are arrows and a quiver. His entire body exudes power and strength, every muscle is tense. This interpretation of the character embodies the popular perception of Hayk as an invincible hero.
The sculpture is designed to be viewed from all four sides. The material is
forged copper, the height is 3.5 m.
