Monument to Artsakh hero Leonid Azgaldyan vandalized in Yerevan
Unknown people have vandalized the monument to legendary Armenian commander and Artsakh war hero Leonid Azgaldyan in Yerevan.
Artist Ara Shahumyan shared photos of the damaged bust on Facebook, calling for immediate punishment of the vandals.
"I don't have the slightest doubt that Armenia is swarming with Turks and their agents. Hybrid warfare is just like that. If the law enforcement officers are unable to control the situation and protect our values, it is necessary to restore the "institution" of yard boys, who would be able to find and punish the agents on the ground," Shahumyan wrote.
The monument to Leonid Azgaldyan was unveiled at the intersection of Mesrop Mashtots Avenue and Movses Khorenatsi Street in central Yerevan on December 11, 2002. The 2.2-meter-high monument is crafted from granite.
