Bedeutung
A river with a lot of depth.
Kultureller Hintergrund
The Araks River is the most famous 'deep river' in Armenian culture, serving as a symbol of the divided homeland and national longing. In mythology, deep rivers were thought to be protected by 'Vishaps' (serpent-dragons) who controlled the water flow. The proverb 'Խորը գետը հանդարտ է հոսում' is used to praise someone's modesty and hidden intelligence. Environmentalists often use 'խորը գետ' when discussing the shrinking of the Hrazdan river due to industrial use.
