Armenian Genocide monument unveiled in Boston

The Armenian Genocide monument that will be the focal point of the Armenian Heritage Park in Boston later this year was unveiled at a reception sponsored and hosted by the Knights and Daughters of Vartan at the birthplace of that monument, A&A Industries.

A&A Industries, owned and operated by Anahid and Aurelian Mardiros and their sons, is a high-precision cutting facility which specializes mostly in hightech applications. The Mardiros family has donated the sculpture to the Armenian Heritage Park.

The sculpture, when it eventually makes its way to its permanent home, will be mounted above a reflecting pool. It will be reconfigured annually.

The sculpture will have 24-26 different configurations, which symbolize the dispersion and coming together of immigrants from different shores, The Armenian Mirror-Spectator reported.
