The historical process of constructing the monumental statue-complex of Jesus Christ has begun at an altitude of 2,500 meters. Gagik Tsarukyan wrote about this on his Facebook page:
“The first participants of this initiative are renowned figures of culture and art, who have been entrusted with the honorable mission of being the first to ascend the mountain peak and, with their presence, symbolize the national value of the construction process.
They are the same people who, for many years, through the ‘Yes Kam’ project, have made the dreams of our little ones come true. Today, with the same faith and dedication, they are joining this nationwide initiative, passing on a message of national rebirth and inner unity to future generations.
May God be the protector of our homeland and our people,” he wrote.
