During the lecture which was accompanied with rich computer videos and sources, Professor Souren Danielyan referred to the creative history of Anush poem, its variations, after which made a structural analysis of the poem.
“The prelude of the poem already prompts us about the tragedy of love”, the professor noticed and one by one presented the hidden meaning of the pictures mentioning their aesthetic function.
In addition to the social topic, the lecturer urged them to accept the poem as a proof of eternity of love.
