Nemesis Monument in Yerevan

Nearly a century after the Armenian Genocide, a sculpture honoring the heroes of the "Nemesis" initiative solemnly opened in the fourth segment of Circular Park. The Council of Elders decided to place the monument, with descendants of the Armenian Genocide revengers submitting the petition for its installation. Architect T. Barseghyan designed the Nemesis monument, commemorating the heroes who organized and executed the Nemesis operation in 1919. The monument, opened on April 25, 2023, is a powerful reminder of the Armenian Genocide and the imperative to seek justice for its victims.
