William Saroyan Statue Unveiled in Yerevan
President Serzh Sargsyan was on hand at today's official unveiling of a statute in downtown Yerevan commemorating noted American-Armenian author and playwright William Saroyan. The statute, located at a new semi-circular sidewalk plaza at the intersection of Mashtots Avenue and Moskovyan Street is the work of architects Ruben Hasratyan and Levon Igityan. Sculpted by Davit Yerevantsi, it was the brainchild of Rafael Hovhannisyan, President of the Pan-Armenian Geographic Association. The project was supported by Armenian benefactors form the Diaspora and by government funding.
