"Trust the honest friend; love him, as the brother,
Don't listen to slander, let behind the back hiss,
Don't touch a snake by foot - will sting, will start up poison
And ardent your blood will poison in time".

Throughout two centuries the Sayat-Nova life and creativity is a subject of discussions among writers, linguists, historians and philosophers. Nevertheless, the set of important circumstances and his life details still aren't found out. In many respects, it is fault of the poet - great master of literary mystifications, author of the unique coded language.
"Treasured secrets to the enemy you don't entrust,
Sometime the villain will sell them for a penny.
Be not the envious person, don't wish the other peoples property
Them will pay back the same to you at bad times" - (Sayat-Nova).
