MONUMENT IN MEMORY OF THE VICTIMS OF THE ARMENIAN GENOCIDE OF 1915

Inaugurated in 1986, this monument was created by architects Edouard Sarxian and Claude Strouk. Don't be mistaken, it's not any work of art he's agreed to climb! We sometimes see children playing on it, without knowing that these 12 concrete slabs representing the 12 provinces in Armenia are engraved with no fewer than 1915 names of victims of genocide, with the characters of the Armenian alphabet. So, of course, it is perfectly appropriate to sit next door, but it would be disrespectful to sit on it, as some people can do. A place of memories, tributes and sometimes commemorations.
