The statue of the National Hero of Armenia, philanthropist Kirk Kerkorian has unveiled in Gyumri, the second largest city of Armenia.

The Gyumri Council of Elders had decided to install a statue of the benefactor in December 2013.

Owing to Kerkorian’s the Lincy Foundation, about 3,000 apartments were built for homeless families in Gyumri.

The well-known American Armenian benefactor had passed away on June 16, 2015, aged 98.
