Two Documentaries Dedicated To Spurring Of Peace and Dialogue Betwee

TWO DOCUMENTARIES DEDICATED TO SPURRING OF PEACE AND DIALOGUE BETWEEN
ARMENIA AND AZERBAIJAN TO BE SHOWN AT GOLDEN APRICOT

YEREVAN, JULY 7, NOYAN TAPAN – ARMENIANS TODAY. Two new documentary
films dedicated to the spurring of peace and dialogue between Armenia
and Azerbaijan will be shown during the Voske Tsiran ("Golden Apricot")
second international film festival, which will be held on July 10-15
in Yerevan.

Having the same title, "In that Far Neighbor Village," the films
present the distorted fates and aspiration to survive of the two
villages having common border, an Armenian and an Azerbaijani
ones. There are conversations with the natives in the films, where
the latters tell epizodes from their pre-war biography, from the
hard consequences of the war and very often express their infinite
aspiration to conciliate.

The Armenian branch of the Catholic Relief Service (CRS), Armenian
Round Table Foundation NGO and Inter-Church Organization for
Development Cooperation of Netherlands co-financed the films.

The Armenian version of the "In That Far Neighbor Village" film,
where the life in Aygepar is presented, was shot the "Shoghakat" TV
company, and the Azerbaijani version, which presents the life in the
neighbour Alibeyli village, was made by the Azerbaijan "Interniews
Azerbaijan" organization.

"The desire to life together, as the much-suffered inhabitants
of the Aygepar and Alibeyli villages express, is not a sensual
idea. Both Armenians and Azeries, especially in the border zone, fully
understand and appreciate the value of economic cooperation. Peace and
rehabilitation of trust have a pivotal meaning for their existance and
finally for the welfare and prosperity of their villages. They realize
that the unsteady ceasefire isn’t enough to return to normal life
and to freely contact with the neighbors," mentioned Sona Hamalian,
Head of the Armenian Office of the Catholic Relief Service.

"In That Far Neighbour Village" documentary films will be shown twice
at the Golden Apricot film festival- at the Moscow cinema on July 11
and at the Nairi cinema on July 12. After each showing there will be
possibility of questioning with the representatives of the shooting
group of the Shoghakat TV company, Catholic Relief Service and the
Armenian Round Table Foundation.
