This article explores the thematic and stylistic parallels between contemporary Armenian poetry-particularly the works of Hovhannes Grigoryan and Vardan Hakobyan-and the French surrealist tradition. Through a comparative analysis, it highlights shared motifs such as love, memory, dreams, and linguistic freedom. Grigoryan’s poetry is marked by emotional rawness and the expressive power of silence, while Hakobyan’s texts transform love into a symbolic, dreamlike vision that blends reality with the subconscious. French surrealists like Éluard, Aragon, and Apollinaire treat love as a symbolic and ideological space, often shaped by collective memory and poetic experimentation. Although influenced by surrealism, Armenian poets reinterpret its principles through their own cultural and historical lens. The article concludes that Armenian contemporary poetry represents a unique avant-garde voice-speaking a universal language with distinctly national inflections.
