According to him, no genre changes are expected in the repertoire of the 19 year old singer, he will keep to the genre of folk songs, since Gurgen Dabaghian became known and loved by people with the performance of folk songs. The dudul-player is sure that after Gurgen returns to the stage, numerous children will follow his example and the Armenian national music will not fall into oblivion any longer.
