It was a gift from the Armenian Embassy to the city. On April 27, a monument dedicated to Karo Alabyan was unveiled in Moscow. Such a gift to our city was made by the Embassy of Armenia in Russia in cooperation with the Government of Moscow and with the support of the Heritage and Progress Foundation.
Karo Alabyan was the principal architect of Moscow, founder of the Union of Architects # USSR, Vice President of the USSR Academy of Architecture. One of the first iconic buildings created by the architect in Moscow was the building of the Central Theater of the Red Army (now #ЦАТРА).
The Minister of the Government of Moscow, Head of the Department of Foreign Economic and International Relations Sergey Cheremin, Head of the Sokol District Council of Moscow Alexey Borisenko, son of the architect Alabyan's grand-nephew Georgy Melkonyan have all spoken at the event.
