Adjacent to the capital’s most important administrative structures, such as Office of the President and Parliament, Lovers Park opened in Yerevan last month has already become a beloved spot for Yerevan citizens.

The park with a long history, known to date as Pushkin Park (renamed into Lovers Park in 1995) endured economic crisis of early 1990, furthermore, luckily avoided the fate of many other green areas in Yerevan., which are covered with cafes and restaurants. In 2005 the Boghossian Foundation belonging to Swiss Armenian benefactors Albert and Jean Boghossian, initiated the park renovation as a gift to the city. The construction works were done by Hayastan All-Armenian Fund and the overall reconstruction and renovation project cost $1.3 million.
