The looming bell tower overlooking the Turkish border marks the spot where a ragtag army of hungry, poorly armed Armenian refugees won a decisive victory over a Turkish invasion in 1918, saving Armenia. The large ethnographic museum to the side offers an interesting look back at the way Armenians used to live from ancient to modern times.
Sardarapat Memorial is a memorial complex to the Battle of Sardarabad located in the village of Araks, in the Armavir Province of Armenia, 11 kilometers southwest of Armavir town.
