Treasury of St. Gregory of Narek

Many of us talk about St. Gregory of Narek (Grigor Narekatsi), we are proud of his work – Narek, yet few can boast to have read it and comprehend its meaning. The difficulties of reading and understanding the compositions of Narekatsi are closely linked to the complexity of their language, style and content, which seek respective spiritual, mental abilities and training from the readers. How can the mystery of Narekatsi’s works be made aaccessible to contemporary reader, how should the medieval genious be delivered? Hayk Hambardzumyan spoke about these issues with doctor of philology, literary critic Henrik Bakhchinyan.
