View
“View” is a platform for deep conversations. Here, together with Tovmas Arakelyan, we try to explore the views of various figures and intellectuals, on a wide range of
topics.
Anahit Kirakosyan: We have to become champions again
We had met Anahit Kirakosyan for the first time at an event dedicated to St. Grigor Narekatsi. We talked about Narekatsi and his ideas this time. This View is about being a Christian parent, having the feeling of gratitude, and not collapsing in challenges.
Ani Kochar: I have no reason to consider myself unhappy
"There Is No Surrender" and "Life from the Second Attempt": Ani Kochar's two books best describe the ideology of struggle she advocates. The victory of hope is imperative for us. But with patience. This is the topic of our talk. Enjoy your watching!
Samvel Topalyan: We don't know ourselves
Many of us got to know Western Armenia, our historical Ergir, when actor Samvel Topalyan undertook a big journey and showed in detail what we have lost. While watching it, some experienced the pain of loss, others felt the anger of revenge, and still others were filled with the power to work, create, and educate themselves. Today, after the war, we look at that journey from a different perspective, but our soul continues to yearn for the Home, perhaps also through art.
Levon Harutyunyan. I'm not growing up, but I'm getting old
It is very interesting to see actors who have created humorous roles on the platform of a serious, in-depth conversation. We talked with actor Levon Harutyunyan. Although he said that even the clown in him is sad now, he managed to give a very positive and hopeful view. Enjoy your watching.
Fr. Mikayel Gevorgyan: By Repentance I Mean Healing
Fr. Mikayel has been praying tirelessly for 17 years in Tathev Monastery. The guest of ՛View is a clergyman who, having a brilliant mathematical education, left the worldly life and became an example of dedication and loyalty. This conversation is an attempt to bring us a little closer to the spiritual paths of truth.
Fr. Markos Mangasaryan: Questions About Family
Fr. Markos is the director of the Social Service Office of the Mother See. In parallel, he has founded the Family Counseling Center with his wife. We decided to address the most important questions related to family to him. Enjoy your watching!
Rafael Yeranosyan: We say that the country is not a country, but the world is ours
This is a very long planned conversation, the summary of all the discussions we have had many times with Rafael Yeranosyan. Enjoy your watching!
Garik Papoyan. God has never let go of my hand
The spiritual life and relationship with God best reveal a person. We are talking with Garik Papoyan, a showman, humorist, TV host, producer, member of the Armenian Apostolic Church, about topics that he has hardly touched on publicly. Enjoy your watching.
Babken Chobanyan. That's what gives me strength all the time
If you've ever listened to the Bible, the Church Fathers, a series of prayers on the Internet, you probably recognize this voice. Our interlocutor is actor Babken Chobanyan, who shares his Christian, spiritual experience, concerns and bright hope.
Fr. Mesrop Aramian. Faith is not easily given
We’re starting the second season of View. This time our radio pavilion, which is already known for its uncompromising sincerity and concrete strength, hosts Fr. Mesrop Aramian, a theologian, scholar, intellectual, who has made a great contribution to the field of education and has translated ”The Book of Lamentations” by St. Gregory of Narek.
Nerses Avetisyan. Count your blessings every day
And who said that a young intellectual cannot be versatile, spiritual and profound? We talk about most serious issues with actor, presenter, singer Nerses Avetisyan.
Archbishop Bagrat Galstanyan: Let's Be True to the Hero of the Holy Nativity
Bagrat Srpazan is the spiritual leader of the border Diocese of Tavush. In recent years, however, his words have gone out of Tavush through the Internet and reached Armenians around the world, comforting, inspiring and encouraging many. Srpazan's speaking style is very formulaic. In this conversation, we have tried to touch upon several key formulas.
Avet Barseghyan: People of the Sun When There Is No Sun
We know Avet Barseghyan as a TV presenter, and we know many songs he has written, but recently we were able to read a small part of his poems on the Internet. In this conversation, we have emphasized poetry itself. Let's analyze together Avet’s poems with a Christian view.
Davit Hakobyan: The Content Will Emerge from the Form
A conversation with Davit Hakobyan, a theater director, actor and expert in theater art, as well as our kind grandpa.
Sona Rubenyan: Song Is Also a Form of Struggle
We have already talked about music with various guests at View studio. However, Sona Rubenyan's approach is unique. She sees the song not only as entertainment but also as a defensive fortress, formative school and spiritual strength. And what is music for us? Let's try to analyze it after listening to the conversation.
Anais Sardaryan. You have brought life with you
Another conversation about doing good, not giving up and living with important values. The giant social work done by actress Anais Sardaryan in the hard days of 2020 was still fresh in our memory when the forced displacement of Artsakh residents began. Anais' new initiative has already reached more than 70,000 Artsakh citizens, not only in the form of material “help” but also as an important message: "You are not alone; we are one, and we love each other, Armenians."
Aram MP3. Silence Can Also Educate
Aram MP3, and you can't immediately decide what to talk about: music, television, humor, family, healthy lifestyle... And what if we touch on all these topics, but, perhaps unexpectedly for our days, from the aspects of value system and spirituality? Let's try it.
Nazeni Hovhannisyan. You either feel the power of the roots or you don't...
This conversation was filmed one day before the gruesome and sad events of the depopulation of Artsakh. We were nervous. Nazeni Hovhannisyan kept returning to Artsakh in her words. Perhaps it was not us who felt it, but our blood, the power of the roots that you either have or you don't. It is an important and topical conversation. Enjoy your watching!
Artur Ghukasyan. We Move Forward Looking Back
There is an Armenian maxim whose literal translation reads:"The head of the doer of good is holey.” But it turns out not to be true. We talk with producer Artur Ghukasyan about the fact that virtue and piety can be the basis of our success. It is doing good that saves us from despair and leads us to victory. Mr. Ghukasyan is the president of one of those winning programs, the HayFest International Theater Festival. Enjoy your watching!
Designer Arman Nur: I’m Trying to Create the Meaning of Beauty
Kafka said that all those who retain the ability to see beauty never grow old. Our interlocutor is designer, artist, jeweler and sculptor Arman Nur, who, however, in his own words, tries not only to reveal the beauty in his works but also to create the meaning of the beauty. This conversation is about form and content, the message and bad taste.
