Famous sculptor Ferdinand Arakelyan in an interview with Aravot.am said that currently he is working on a sculpture that is going to be donated to the Pope. He did not explain what is the sculpture, he just said that the advice of the sculpture is the Pope’s being No. 1 of the century. “The Pope with his known move did not only defend the Armenian nation and raised the Armenian Genocide but defended the civilization. No one has ever been so strong as he is. He stood next to the Christian civilization and the highest value – the morality. I take off my hat before the greatness of the Pope, who is the biggest symbol of civilization for me,” said Mr. Arakelyan. The sculptor noted that the sculpture will be made of bronze. Without “opening the brackets” he said that prior to sending the sculpture to the Pope, it will be shown also to the Armenian art lovers.
