The image of General Andronic Bartani was allegedly dismantled for the safety of children, the administration of the school number 1 in the village of Artani explained the dismantling of the mosaic image of the national hero Andronic Ozani for security reasons. According to the school, the concrete construction of the picture does not match the features of the building and could pose a danger to children. The picture is expected to be moved to the courtyard of the Cultural Center, where a memorial to the dead soldiers was created, and installed after the improvement is completed. Was a technical inspection carried out? Were there options for strengthening the structure without dismantling it? The problem is much wider than one rural picture. In Yerevan, portraits of fallen war heroes are erased from the walls of buildings, and artistically, the image of Andronic was dismantled. The reasons for these decisions can be different, but they have one thing in common: images of people who have become part of the national memory have disappeared from the ordinary public space. The safety of the children should not suffer, but for many years this image did not pose any danger, and now suddenly a few days later there is such an explanation for the dismantling. It is strange that preserving the memory of national heroes is increasingly the task of the citizens themselves, forced to protest against the decisions of the authorities. The historical memory must be preserved not only due to the resistance of the residents, but also due to the responsible attitude of government and municipal buildings. And when images of national heroes disappeared from the public space one by one, the question inevitably arises: is this a series of separate decisions or an expression of a purposeful policy?
