Victory Park in Yerevan, also known as "Monument", was originally named after a statue of Stalin that stood there until the 1950s. It is one of the most pleasant areas of the city and once contained real beaches on Lake Yerevan. A thick forest also once stood where the Golden Palace Hotel is now located. Victory Park features a 22 meter tall statue called "Mother Armenia" designed by Ara Harutyunyan in 1967, and a military museum was established inside the statue's pedestal in 1970.

2. • There are a lot of places of interest in Yerevan. One of
them is Victory park which we call <<monument>>.The
reason of the non- oficial name is the monument to
Stalin which was situated there in !1950.During the
years people began to call monument not only the park
but also the region which is one of the most pleasant
places of Yerevan. It is hard to believe that many years
ago there were real beaches on the lake AREVIK ,where
many people from Yerevan spent their rest.
