 “In the heart of Armenia’s capital city the statue of Fridtjof Nansen, the great relative and friend of Armenian people, is being in evidence that Armenian people keep the memory of their relatives bright in their hearts. Armenia has always had its place in Nansen’s heart, and in the heart of Armenia, in the heart of Yerevan, we’ll have Fridtjof Nansen’s statue. This statue enriches the list of schools, streets, orphanages and hospitals in different parts of Armenia – in Yerevan, Spitak, Gyumri, Vanadzor and elsewhere,” Armenian FM Edward Nalbandian delivered remarks at the official opening ceremony of Fridtjof Nansen’s statue.
