Commemorating the Life of the Bright soul: Narek Hovsepian


    On June 9, 2016 fans, friends and family members of late young writer and philosopher Narek Hovsepian were at the Yerevan City Central Library to commemorate his 30th birthday anniversary and to present his book "The Return of Noah's Pigeon". After the audience stood up for a minute of silence, the editor and complier of the book, speaker of the event, philologist, journalist Hasmik Gulakian took the flour. In her speech she mentioned: "Narek's horizon has always puzzled me. He knew for sure he wouldn't live long. After being acquainted with him, you can see that in a number of his works. He speaks about death a lot. Moreover, he speaks about death as the realest reality. His hypersensitive barometer has recorded everything, even those spiritual ups and downs, emotions and vibrations which require decades of life lived but still remain unknown for most". Speeches about the young author and his works were made by the director of "Hayastan" publishing house, literary critic, PhD of philological Sciences Vahagn Sargsyan and social figure, public speaker and writer Ruzan Asatryan. "After getting to know Narek's maxims I understood that his philosophical ideas were entirely encrypted. Today they are still undeciphered, but one day they will. His hour of revelation is getting closer". The speech of Narek's father, philologist- librarian Sasha Hovsepian, helped to understand his son better. He spoke about a series of bizarre, mysterious events that happened during his short lifetime and which prove that he was an "Unusual type". He could penetrate, he could spread love and bring peace. In the end Mr. Hovsepian thanked Hasmik Gulakian and Tigran Sargsyaning who brought to light Narek's being and who made sure that he lives on. Journalist Ruben Simonian spoke about late writer's "unusualness" as well. "He asked a lot of questions", he said, "and he managed to represent a whole life in a short amount of time". The audience was offered to listen to some of Narek Hovsepian's works read by actress Gayane' Samvelian.
