Massive Wedding Monument, Stepanakert

A monument in Stepanakert commemorates the massive wedding held on October 2008, where 700 couples got married thanks to Levan Hairapetian's generosity. The Russian-Armenian Millionaire not only paid for the cost of the wedding and the banquet, but also gave large wedding gifts to the couples, as well as a pledge to give them thousands of dollars for each child they father with the aim of increasing Nagorno Karabakh’s Armenian population. In the meantime, Hairapetian, faces legal problems in Russia, where he has been imprisoned on corruption and tax evasion charges. © Daniel Barreto Mezzano
