Gregory was a faithful Monophysite, at a time when the Armenian church was building relations with the Miaphysite Roman Catholic Church. He wrote against uniting the Armenian church with Rome.[2]

In 1397, during perpetual invasions by the Timurids, he completed the Book of Questions, an basic and comprehensive theological outline.[2]

A monument to Tatevatsi was unveiled on October 16, 2010 in Goris, Armenia.[3][4]
