"Eurovision" is a special song festival, and I have to disappoint all
those who were anticipating that we would present Komitas there. And
let's not forget that the song has been written by one of out best
composers Armen Martirosyan, and has been instrumented by Murzik,
one of our best arrangers. Besides, national musical instruments have
been used," Alexan Harutyunyan said in his interview to " Radiolur"

As for the Eastern tunes, Alexan Harutyunyan noted, "Eastern tunes
exist also in Sayat-Nova's music."
