Give away your life, but never give your native land to the enemy. These timely words are from the revolutionary novel | Verk Hayastani (W...ounds of Armenia) by the Father of Modern Armenian Literature, Khachatur Abovian. Born on this day in Kanaker in 1809, Abovian was a descendant of one of the five Meliks who ruled Artsakh and was a staunch advocate of enlightenment. We mark the revered writer and national public figure’s birthday by culling timely quotations from his best-known work, a patriotic ode to the Armenian nation, aimed at arousing national pride and the will to fight for self-determination.
