During the presentation, second and third year students of the faculty of Armenian language and literature performed recitation, song and their own analysis.

Mane Yeganyan started the event with the only poem of the collection about maternity

Գարուն էր դրսում,

Մայրս աշուն էր,

Բայց երգ էր հյուսում.

Երգը նախշուն էր:

Հայացքով անխոս

Թեքվել է հողին,

Չեմ ների մորս

Արցունք տվողին:

Then Astghik Ghazaryan and Lusine Melkumyan recited.

Throughout the event, Liana Yaralyan provided musical mood.

Armiada Baghiyan, a student of the same school, gave an analytical speech. Commenting on the title of the collection, she particularly mentioned: “… It is interesting. The stars are surrounded by darkness in the sky, but they shed light around them. These little lights symbolize love, while darkness symbolizes the difficulties and obstacles of life, and as the stars win darkness illuminating it, human love must fight against the difficulties of life, win and brighten our lives”.

Roza Melkoumian interrupted with a hint, remembering her and Susanna’s first meeting. “Several years ago, when I was studying at school, I went to the camp for a week in summer. We went to camp with 11 Tavush people on a blue bus. On the way we were informed that we should stop at the village of Hovk because one of the children is going to join us. We got to Hovk. There was a girl waiting for us … and the first one that grabbed me was the shining hair in the sun. ” Rosa confessed that she thought Susanna or, as she says, Susan is Russian. In the camp, Rosa got acquainted with Susanne’s poems, in the blue book.

Then Lusine Hakobyan made an analytical speech. According to her, Susanne’s writings were of impressionistic view, that is, ” based on subjective reactions of that moment, she has written what she has seen and felt.

Քամու հառաչ,

Լույս խավարած,

Ջրի կարկաչ,

Կանչող մի կանչ:

Gohar Mkhitaryan first tried to find out the meaning of Susanne’s name. “White Water Lily”. Susanna is also a lilac, a delicate, simple, white fairy tale. Her writings remind of lilac mildness . Then she named what themes were prevalent in the collection: anticipation, contrast, illusions, struggle and love. Gohar spoke of possible literary influences that Susanna could have during writing.

Ես կգամ այսօր,

Ինչ էլ որ լինի,

Քիչ մտամոլոր

Ու չեմ մոլորվի:

Կվերադառնամ,

Կնստեմ քեզ մոտ,

Շուրթիդ կդառնամ

Մեղրածոր կարոտ:

“Along with reading this poem, Gohar emphasized,” Hamo Sahyan’s “I’ll come” poem is reborned in our minds. The aspirations are the same: to come back, whatever happens, as Sahyan would say, «Հազար կապով կապված, // Խաչով խաչված լինի. Is Susanna inspired by this poem, it is difficult to say, but there are poems, which, when reading, remind us of poems of the great Armenian writers of the past century. For example, this line.

Հոգնած գլուխս դնեմ քո ուսին

Ու հանգիստ քնեմ մինչև լուսաբաց,

Քեզ համար մնամ միշտ էլ սիրող կին

Ու քո գրկի մեջ ես լինեմ արբած:

In some ways, this is a reminder of the lines of ” Կուզեմ` հիմի փչե զուռնեն // Հարբած ըլիմ մինչև էգուց ” by Charents from the “Tagharan” collection. Love makes them dreamy and happy. “

Roza Tchagharyan spoke delightedly about her impressions. “… A very original, unique and profound poet. She has a rich saying, flexible idea. The writer of poems that can not be read without scratch. Sometimes even one word is so impressive that your body trembles and think how talented this girl is. “

IMG-20180922-WA0058[1]Beginning from the school director to Susanna’s mother, everyone expressed words of gratitude, they thanked one more time both organizers and students, Susanne, whose creative talent was the reason of this memorable occasion.

The university students returned from Hovk with warm and bright impressions, with the hope of meeting again on such interesting occasions.
