On July 22, 2022, the Armenian Post issued a stamp in honor of David-Bek and the 300th anniversary of the Syunik National Liberation Struggle.

At the beginning of the 18th century, the territory of Eastern Armenia was under the rule of the Persians. By this time, the Safavid dynasty was greatly weakened and the Armenian melik princes in the provinces of Syunik and Artsakh, who did not have full control over their lands and were dependent on Persia, considered the moment appropriate to start the struggle for independence.

The meliks of Syunik, ready for an uprising, sent an embassy to the Georgian king Vakhtang VI asking for help. A detachment of Armenian officers headed by commander David-Bek, who served in the army of the Georgian king, set out from Georgia. David-Bek managed to unite the disparate forces of the meliks of Syunik and formed a victorious army. In 1722, he and his associates defeated the detachments of the princes of Syunik, who supported Persia. By 1725, David-Bek became the ruler of the united Armenian principality, almost completely driving the Persians out of Eastern Armenia. The Shah of Persia was forced to recognize the authority of David Bek over Syunik. In 1726-1728, the Armenians, led by David Bek, fought against the Turks, who were striving to capture the Transcaucasus. David-Bek with his troops took one Turkish fortress after another. During the siege of the fortress of Halidzor, David-Bek defeated more than twenty thousand Ottoman army.

David Bek was an outstanding military figure and ruler, he managed to overthrow the Iranian rule in Eastern Armenia for eight years. David-Bek died after a long illness in the Halidzor fortress in 1928. With his death, as well as with the death of his closest associates, the successful period of the Armenian liberation movement in Syunik ended.

The Armenian Post decided to honor the memory of the outstanding commander by issuing a postage stamp in honor of the 300th anniversary of the Syunik uprising of 1722-1730. The postage stamp with a face value of 380 drams depicts a monument to David-Bek in the city of Kapan. Designer Rem Saakyan graphically depicted the monument, placing it against the backdrop of the Armenian mountains. Perhaps the designer chose a not entirely successful angle and the drawing does not convey all the unusual beauty and dynamics of the original sculpture.

The monument to David-Bek was created by the famous Armenian Soviet sculptor Sarkis Ivanovich Baghdasaryan in 1978. The equestrian statue of David-Bek is one of Baghdasaryan's significant sculptural works. Like all the works of the sculptor, it is full of originality and full-blooded, plastic expressiveness of forms. The horse with its courageous rider rushes forward madly, not recognizing any obstacles and barriers. The horse and the rider, having become one, are given to a single impulse, being a symbol of the invincibility of life, courage and freedom.
