A monument dedicated to the Armenian Alphabet was unveiled in Strasbourg, in an area adjacent to the administrative building of the European Parliament.
The statue, presented by Armenia, is titled “Armatagir – The Power of Dialogue” and was offered as a token of gratitude for the continued and unconditional support provided by the European Parliament. The artwork is composed of letters from the Armenian alphabet.
During the unveiling ceremony, European Parliament President Roberta Metsola highlighted the importance of dialogue, describing it as a cornerstone of democracy that unites people and drives progress.
“Ultimately, this is the essence of the work of the European Parliament: building dialogue among ourselves, with citizens, and with the world around us,” she said, adding that the artistic representation of the Armenian alphabet strengthens the language’s place within Europe’s rich and diverse dialogue.
Metsola also quoted renowned Armenian poet Silva Kaputikyan, saying: “Wherever you are and wherever you go under this moon, do not forget your mother tongue.”
The Armenian alphabet, invented in the 5th century, remains one of the most important pillars of Armenian cultural identity.
