The park on Marshal Baghramian Avenue is rarely ever referred to by its name; Lovers’ Park. To date many in Yerevan know it as Pushkin Park, popularly called Pushkinski, in Russian. The park was named Pushkin Park in 1949 by the decision of the Council of Ministers of the Armenian Soviet Socialist Republic as part of the celebration of the 150th anniversary of the birth of the renowned Russian poet, Alexander Pushkin. Later in 1970 the park, as well as the avenue it stands on (currently Marshal Baghramian Avenue), were named Barekamutyuna (Comradeship) as a tribute to the friendship of all Soviet Union member nations.
