Yerablur Pantheon Yerevan

A Nation’s Grief

Davit from Yerevan

"Yerablur Pantheon in Yerevan honors Armenian soldiers lost in recent wars, symbolizing the nation’s deep grief and collective sorrow and sacrifice."

Yerablur Pantheon is the main military cemetery in Yerevan, where most of the Armenian soldiers who died in recent conflicts are buried. It holds the graves of those lost during the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict in the 1990s, the 4-Day War in 2016, and the more recent 2020 Artsakh War.

Yerablur is not just a cemetery; it represents the deep sorrow of a nation. The grief of a country coming out of war is something unique, and Yerablur embodies that sorrow. The pantheon holds the remains of thousands of Armenian soldiers, many of whom were no older than 18-20 years old just a few years ago. Everyone in Armenia has someone buried here – a son, a brother, a father, a friend, a neighbor, or a classmate. It’s extremely sad to realize how different life paths can be, and how destructive war is.

I recommend visiting Yerablur not just as a place of remembrance, but to understand the intense grief of a nation. Here, you see how every family in Armenia has lost someone, not in the distant past, but in recent years. It’s a place where teenage boys, full of life and potential, gave everything for their country. The flags at Yerablur and the stunning city view are symbols of their sacrifice.

Take time to reflect – Yerablur is more than just a cemetery. It’s a powerful symbol of the collective loss experienced by Armenia.

After travelling to different countries, I've developed a stronger appreciation for my city, especially the small and overlooked details of it. Why Yerevan What I love about Yerevan the most is the contrasts. It's a big city with over 1 million residents, but it somehow feels like a small town where everybody knows each other.
