The ceremonial hall of Yerevan's historic Blue Mosque has been named after Armenian poet Yeghishe Charents.

Axar.az reports, citing the Iranian Embassy in Armenia, that Iranian Vice President Seyed Hamid Pourmohammadi unveiled a commemorative plaque bearing the poet's name during a visit to Yerevan.

The embassy said a bust of Charents is also planned to be installed in the hall at a later stage.

It should be recalled that the Blue Mosque in Yerevan is an important monument of Azerbaijan’s historical and cultural heritage. Built in the 18th century during the era of the Iravan Khanate, the mosque is associated with the name of Iravan Khan Huseynali Khan.
