Abstract

Literary scholar, editor, Ph.D. in Philology, Docent at the Russian-Armenian (Slavonic) University Ani Asatur Pashayan. - “Komitas' Poetry and “Komitas. Ten Revelations” by Vahan Artsruni”. The study of Komitas' poetry is being for the first time introduced into the scientific circulation, as works noted for their profound philosophical significance. In summary, it should be concluded that the lyric poetry of Komitas requires further study. Its symmetrical expressions, its rhythm, and content, the musicality of words and sounds, its vocabulary, as well as the optimism and the trajectory leading into the light, show a poetic area of the highest value, and they were thoroughly reflected by Vahan Artsruni in his "Komitas. Ten Revelations" Cycle.
