Two benches that symbolize Armenian-German friendship have been installed at the city hall courtyard in Leer, Germany.
German Armenian Albert Tovmasyan, at whose initiative these benches are placed, told the aforesaid to Armenian News-NEWS.am.
This is the first time that Armenia-made benches are installed at the courtyard of a government building of a European country.
Mayor of Armenia’s capital city of Yerevan, Taron Margaryan, had donated these benches to Leer.
To note, the anniversary of Yerevan was celebrated in this German town, on October 8. And, on this occasion, four benches that symbolize Yerevan-Leer friendship were installed in the Leer central park, where an Armenian cross-stone devoted to the Armenian Genocide Centennial was placed in 2015, again at Albert Tovmasyan’s initiative.
The next of his projects toward creating a small Armenia in Leer is to have a street in this German town be named Yerevan.
