When I said Nalbandian had written about the “Yeraguyn” may have been a good example of jumping the gun, foot in mouth.
Btw, in a song book that I bought at a street corner in Yerevan, published in 1993 (2 years after independence) the words “tshvar, anter” are still intact. However in a song book published in NY in 1919 we may have the original Nalbandian words. Compare each verse (some omitted from the modern version), and see where “Nayir nran yereq guynov” comes from. Proof that the words have been amended a few times to fit the status quo?
Arpa, i don't know why you're complicating the whole issue... trying to find hidden messages...
the piece is called "italatsi aghjka yerg@"... and that's what it is... italatsi aghjka yerg@... nalbandian may have had armenia in his heart when he wrote it... but he wrote it for italy... now, that it later was adopted as a national anthem, i think was just because of its resamblance to armenia's situation...
