The first issue of “Bazmavep” was released in Venice in 1843. For the mem­bers of the Congregation of Mkhitarists, the precepts left by the great patriot, humanist, scholar, teacher and spiritual figure Mkhitar Sebastatsi had the force of law. It is for this reason that “Bazmavep”, being published for more than half a century, had separate sections on education, upbringing and morality. The con­stant idea of these categories has always been to see the human being within the ten commandments of the Lord. This is not only the orientation chosen by “Baz­mavep”, but also the most important task coming from the depths of human civiliza­tion.

It is interesting to note that in one of the articles the fact is explained that in the past religion and civilization were closely related.

“Bazmavep” sees the progress of human society in proper upbringing, be­cause “Without a good education, a scientistt is nothing but a sophist, a philoso­pher is nothing but a laborer, and a soldier is nothing but an idler.”
