philadelphian Pillar of the Community United States 3253 Posts	Posted 04/08/2013 8:46 pm It's actually a depiction of the Tsitsernakaberd memorial to the Armenian genocide, in Yerevan: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tsitsernakaberd So this medal must date from after 1967, when the memorial was constructed.
