'''Quotations About Mahari Gurgen'''
*The future of our country is bright, oh the fertile fields' minstrel. May this flower live forever, grown in our fields. [[Charents Yeghishe]]
*Finally, another poet, except whom no one else describes the poplars, the moon, the singing water so belovedly. [[Bakunts Axel]]
*Mahari wrote with the flexibility of our state language, but in essence, he had inheritance of the Western Armenian language, which shades were included in the works of Isahakyan and Vahram Papazyan. There is a flawless accuracy of the fur shades. He's a writer, I believe, who will live as long as the front of the Mesrobus scriptures collapse, as long as the souls searching for the beauties of the Armenian spirit are found. [[Teryan Vahan]]
*Despite the adventures, there is something stubborn in the life and temper of Gurgen Mahari. No matter how many times the waves on the surface come and go, there- in the depth, Mahari remained loyal to him, to his stressed personality, to his poetic rudiment. [[Kaputikyan Silva]]
*Mahari remained the same optimistic person from the beginning to the end. His lips never got accustomed to curse. He immediately went into the whirlpool of life and wrote the novel of his own life. I deeply feel his absence and bow to his memory. [[Hovhannisyan Hrachya]]
