Description

“Open Your Eyes, Armenian People” is a collection of articles, critiques, memoirs, and reflections by Catholicos Vazgen I. In the book, the Catholicos addresses the new realities of our times—an era moving toward a different social and political equilibrium, in which humanity seeks peaceful coexistence free from war.
In this profound discourse, he emphasizes the importance of preserving the character of the Armenian people and cultivating individual and collective virtues, “because victories are won by character,” whether on the battlefield or in other spheres.
In his article “Krimian Hayrik as an Educator”, the author examines the history of the Armenian people and urges readers to recognize it not as a mere chronicle of distant events, but as a lesson-rich guide that enriches our national experience and from which we must learn.
Today, as humanity is thrown into destructive wars, with death and devastation spreading across horizons, and with millennia-old principles and values falling into the abyss, Vazgen I awakens and guides us: “The ark of salvation will come from within.”
