YEREVAN, SEPTEMBER 17, NOYAN TAPAN. The launching of journalist Tatul
Hakobyan’s book "Green and Black: Artsakh Diary" was held in the Urbat
(Friday) club on September 17. Film director Tigran Khzmalian has
given the idea of the book’s title, according to whom, "the black is
the color of the clothes of mothers of the guys killed in the war,
and the green color that of the military uniform."

In the book the journalist presented various documentary materials,
interviews with political figures, participants of the Artsakh war,
commentaries. This is a historical essay in which people, who directly
took part in the events taking place in Armenia and Artsakh during
the last 20 years are presented.

As the editor-in-chief of the Azg daily Hakob Avetikian classed,
this book is neither a diary keeping, nor chronology, nor document
collection.

According to him, this is a huge research conducted by a journalist,
which will give a possibility to every analist and political scientist
engaged in Nagorno Karabakh problem to conduct more unbiassed
analysis. "Today there are few such journalsits, who can make their
observations and researches into a book. I hope that in the future
the number of such kind of journalist wills increase," underlined
H. Avetikian.

In the words the Chairman of the Christian-Democratic Union Khosrov
Harutiunian, T. Hakobian is among the few journalists who "have the
responsibility of information’s impartiality." He said that during
the last years there are many journalists in the Armenian mass media,
whose materials are impartial. As a result, in K. Harutiunian’s
evaluation, information gradually receives a new quality.
