Great master Abajyan was the one, who passed to the generations the echo of wisdom of Narekatsi, Kuchak, Tuomanyan, Isahakyan, Sevak, and Shiraz.

The master won the laurels of the Armenian reciting art. He voiced about the free spirit of the Armenian people in a number of foreign countries and contributed to the formation and fortifying of our united power.

Vladimir Abajyan played a significant role in the life of our society, which is fond of art so much.

His death was a terrible loss for the Armenian theatre and cinema. I offer my deepest sympathies to the master’s family and relatives, as well as his numerous fans."
