The speech is dedicated to the 200th anniversary of the Armenian outstanding poet and scientist Ghevond Alishan. The author has mainly set forth two aims: first, he introduces the high moral posture, warm patriotism, boundless diligence and extreme modesty of “Armenian Nahapet” and then points out the ideological and artistic merits of his collection “Songs of Nahapet”, that has played an exceptional role in the creation of Armenian national song of 50-60s of 19th century. Other issues related to the theme and the assessments of the famous people are also taken into consideration.
