The total area of the cemetery is about 14 hectares.
For many years of its existence the cemetery has been vandalized several times. It also had been in a state of neglect because of improper maintenance. Currently restoration works are being carried out.[2]
At the cemetery there are also situated common graves of soldiers who died in World War II and a monument dedicated to them. The inscription on it reads: "Glory to the heroes who fell in battles fighting for freedom and independence of our homeland, 1941–1945".[3]
Many of the monuments at the Armenian cemetery were made by eminent Italian sculptor Selvester Antonio Tonitto. He lived in Rostov-on-Don and was the owner of a workshop where tombstones and monuments were manufactured.[2]
