Kirk Kerkorian

In Gyumri stands a monument to Kirk Kerkorian, a figure Armenia formally credits as a national hero and benefactor. The designation itself is the monument's core fact: it marks official recognition rather than a private tribute, placed in the city rather than the capital.

Beyond the dedication, no record gives the sculptor, unveiling date, or design of the monument. What's documented is the honor itself — Kerkorian's name attached permanently to Gyumri's public memory.

The monument is in Gyumri, Shirak region, about 88 km northwest of Yerevan in a straight line.
