The article is dedicated to the problems of the creative heritage of the famous Armenian troubadour Sayat Nova. The poetic legacy of this great singer of man, love, beauty and justice is one of the most striking revelations of the Armenian (and not only Armenian) creative genius. Thanks to its universal human character, nationality, social richness and unique poetic art, the word Sayat-Nova still sounds today with the same force, in tune with the most intimate feelings of the human soul. The popularity of Sayat-Nova's poetry, in particular among the peoples of the Caucasus, is absolutely exceptional. Sayat-Nova is an outstanding musician-inventor and there is a regular need to reflect on new developments in the study of his song heritage.

Ashugh art is a pan-Eastern tradition that stems from the cultural origins of the peoples of the Middle East and the Caucasus. The stages of formation and development of Armenian troubadour art are still of great interest today. It should be noted that even today new facts and materials are discovered that need to be observed and studied. In the XVIII century we should already talk about the activities of the Armenian troubadour centers. In this article we have touched upon the important features of the centers established by the Armenian ashughs in Tiflis and New Julfa.
