The inside of the church was still under renovation back in September 2019, but looking at the outside was great. On the side of the church away from the square is a photo showing the damage which happened during the earthquake back in 1988.

Some of the reviews below aren't for the correct statue - this is the Mother Armenia in Gyumri and is conveniently located just outside of the city, close to the Black Fortress. Check out the photos to see the difference. This is probably one of the smaller motherland statues, but it's still worth a visit. She sits with her back to the Turkish border - you can see the hills of Turkey from the monument - and looks down over the city. She doesn't have a weapon which is quite odd for one of these statues. When we were there, there was a group of people weeding the steps up to the statue to keep everything looking nice.
