The author's honest patriotism, sympathy for the pain and care of the motherland is manifested in the comments.

Vardan Areveltsi’s dialects stand out for their unique linguistic structures and stylistic features. They are rich in epithets, comparisons, repetitions, contrasts. The use of these stylistic means provides the odes with unique expressiveness and sensitivity.

The wealth and beauty of Vardan Areveltsi’s odes is also manifested in the system of imagery, that is created by the appropriate linguistic and stylistic means, by the nature of the selection and application of which the degree of artistry of his work is determined.

With the help of imagery and expressive means, not only does the writer make the object of thought real and tangible, bringing up relevant images in the reader's imagination and influencing his imagination, but he also makes the described phenomenon bright and impressive (Qyoseyan, p. 5).
