Armeenia ja Eesti rahva sõpruse monument

By the Emajõgi in Tartu's Vabaduse park stands a monument of volcanic Armenian tuff, unveiled on 23 October 1978 to mark 130 years since the death of Khachatur Abovian, founder of the modern Armenian literary language, who had studied at the University of Tartu. Its maker was the sculptor Hakop Jivanyan. In the Armenian tradition of honouring people with a monument joined to a water source, it was built as a small fountain: a little piece of the Caucasus on an Estonian riverbank.

Emajõe ääres Tartu Vabaduse puiestikus seisab Armeenia vulkaanilisest tufist monument, mis avati 23. oktoobril 1978 armeenia kirjakeele rajaja Hatšatur Abovjani 130. surma-aastapäevaks; Abovjan oli õppinud Tartu Ülikoolis. Selle autor on skulptor Hakop Dživanjan. Armeenia tava kohaselt, kus kuulsate inimeste auks luuakse veelättega monument, on see ehitatud väikese purskkaevuna – tükike Kaukaasiat Eesti jõe kaldal.
