Simonyan stated that she did not bury her husband in the conventional sense. According to her, her husband's ashes are now in their home — in the bedroom, on the bedside table.
"Every day of mine begins and ends with thoughts of him. This way, at least something of him is close to me. I still go to bed with my husband. And what do you suggest I do? Hide it in a closet? I know he's near. I know he's happy that it's this way," she said.
She also said that she and Keosayan had discussed beforehand where they would be buried. It is planned that in the future, their ashes will be mixed and placed in a special glass sarcophagus, which will be installed near the house under a tree.
"Where we will lie, we agreed upon a long time ago. In our house, which we built for five years and which I am finally finishing now, we have already moved in — there is a pine tree planted there. 'I will lie under this pine. And you will be next to me.' I said: 'Of course, Tigrasha, that's how it will be'."
And now I am building a glass sarcophagus. For now, his ashes are next to me, on the bedside table. Later, I will ask for my ashes and his ashes to be mixed and placed in this sarcophagus. And we will be there with him, under the pine. There is nothing sad about this," stated the propagandist, who is currently undergoing treatment for cancer.
Simonyan's husband, 59-year-old Tigran Keosayan, died last September, after being in a coma for nine months.
