"There are no random, ill-conceived lines in the monument.
From the pedestal ... from basalt blocks and embodying the harsh nature of Armenia, water pours from an overturned bowl.

This is the most beautiful monument of a horseman on a horse, which differs from many, but monotonous similar monuments around the world!
I've always liked this monument. There is dynamism and power in this genre sculpture - this miracle was definitely created by Great and Talented Masters (sculptor Yervand Kochar and architect Mikael Mazmanyan).

The station square of Yerevan. What can I tell you about her? You need to visit here. Everyone who visits here for the first time, do not miss the monument to David Sasunsky, the hero of the Armenian epic, standing here.
The monument itself is the work of the artist and sculptor Yervand Kochar, a completely unique person and master. There is his house museum in the city, go there. Look at the works of the Armenian Salvador Dali.
