Archived from the original on 17 December 2023. at 2:24 Khanamiryan states: «Այդ օրը, պրեմիերա օրը, գալիս է հանճարների հանճարը ինձ համար՝ Երվանդ Քոչարը, այդ հայտնի նկարիչը, այդ հայտնի քանդակագործը։ Պրեմիերայի ժամանակ նա ինձ տեսնում է Դավիթով և այդ ժամանակ արդեն մտքում կար, որ արձան անգամ սարքի Սասունցի Դավիթ։ Պատկերացնում եք՝ կանչեց, ինձ նստացրեց, մտա, ինքն էլ զարմացավ. «Դու ինչ Դավիթ։ Այ տղա բեմում ինչ էր հագել որ տենց հսկա էիր»։»

Armen Shekoyan opined that it is one of the world's finest equestrian statues.^[61] Literaturnaya Armenia, a magazine of the Writers Union of Armenia, wrote in 1977 that it is "considered by many to be the world's best equestrian sculpture of the past century."^[76] Gavrill Petrosyan, a Soviet Armenian author, wrote in 1981 that "experts reckon that this is the best equestrian statue of the past 100 years."^[77]
Zharkovskaya and Tyukin listed David of Sassoun, along with the Bronze Horseman (1782) and the Vakhtang Gorgasali [ru] (1967) in Tbilisi, all equestrian statues, as having become symbols of their host cities.^[84]
