Tsitsernakaberd Memorial is a poignant monument dedicated to the victims of the Armenian Genocide. Located on a hill overlooking Yerevan, it serves as a powerful reminder of the historical tragedy that befell the Armenian people.
The memorial complex consists of a tall needle-like stele symbolizing the national rebirth of Armenia, surrounded by twelve slanted basalt slabs representing the twelve lost provinces of historic Armenia. The memorial provides a solemn and deeply moving space for reflection on the genocide that occurred during the Ottoman Empire in 1915, where an estimated 1.5 million Armenians were systematically killed.
