In 1937 Tscharenz had secretly informed his wife Isabella from prison that she should only entrust his writings to a friend of the family, the artist Regina Ghasarjan, who would save her from destruction. After Tscharenz's death, Regina Ghazarjan hid and kept many of his manuscripts (a total of 7,000 lines of text, including the Requiem to Komitas , Untitled , Herbstlieder and Nawsike ) in the garden and handed them over to the Charentes Museum for Literature and Arts in the 1950s. As a military pilot, she took part in the Second World War. In 1951 she graduated from the Yerevan Art Institute.

In 2009 a commemorative plaque was attached to the house at Baghramjan St. 33a in Yerevan, where Regina Ghazarjan lived and worked from 1961 to 1999.

Ghasarjan's paintings are exhibited in various museums of Armenia, including the Armenian National Gallery. She was a member of the Armenian Painters' Union.
