Khachkar
хачкар жертвам землетрясения 1988 года · Խաչքար 1988 թվականի երկրաշարժի զոհերին
This khachkar (carved cross-stone) in Gyumri was raised in memory of the victims of the 1988 earthquake, which struck the Shirak region and devastated the city.
Like other khachkars, it carries carved cross and ornamental patterns cut into stone, here serving a specific memorial purpose rather than marking a church or burial site tied to earlier centuries.
The memorial stands in Gyumri, in Shirak region, roughly 86 km north-northwest of Yerevan as the crow flies.
