Paruyr

Among Paruyr's ancestors, perhaps only Tumanyan and Charents made such a commitment to literature. what should be the speech and what should not be. And their message, exhortation, call, passion in all of that, often and almost constant evil is more than understandable today, sons of the loser's history, their and their tribe's defeat in the past is a constant presence, the perspectives of time are different, open to almost all tribes and nations, behind their tribe only the plague-stricken black desolation of the past is open - they tended to charge the unity of man, Armenian man in the Armenian language with the confidence of the process and perspective. they rightly saw the title of the Armenian Cause in it, and any other opinion for them was sectarianism, a defect, and insanity.
All the figures of language, history, work were called to bring forth and send to the future the straight, lofty, two-thousand-year-old man who does not deny a single step, who shares the horizons of the future with the powerful as equals, the Armenian man.
And they, and Paruyr after them and before us, succeeded in their mission. our man stands before the coming days in a completely different attitude than it would have stood in their absence, our race has raised completely different sons than it would have raised in their absence.
The spiral passed its ten-year time like a storm, a samum, entering every or almost every home and soul, driving the darkness from our homes and souls and awakening us all before the coming disaster.
The presence of Paruyr-man, Paruyr-poet, Paruyr-publisher-poet-historian was the happiness and anxiety of his generation, combined. in his presence, scientists and science, figures and statesmanship, poetry and things were able to show completely different energy, effort and dedication than they would have revealed, God forbid, in the absence of his rapid rise of the whirlwind.
