Baku. Kamala Guliyeva-APA. Turkish producer and script writer, Director
of the Troy Film Producing Center Korhan Yurstever will make 120-minute
film about the Khojali tragedy. Yurstever told APA exclusively that he
produced a film dedicated to the Armenian issue in Turkey recently and
while working on the scenario of that film he researched the genocide
acts committed by Armenians in Azerbaijan. "Khojali Genocide shocked
me completely. It is inhumanity to lance the mother’s womb and removed
baby. I will describe Khojali tragedy in details in the film. It is
necessary for the memory of the victims of genocide. Armenians will
lose sleep over the film I will make about Khojali tragedy. It is
shameful that we didn’t make or didn’t support producing such film
so far".
Yurtsever said he collected many materials about Khojali tragedy
rather than researcher. He is working on the film’s script for two
months already and will complete it within two months. A part of
actors will be invited from Turkey. Yurtsever said main roles would
be played by the Azerbaijani actors. The most part of the film will
be shot in Azerbaijan and some scenes will be made in Turkey.
He said no government organizations showed the interest so far. "My
company is a producer of the film. We need in moral support of
Azerbaijani government. We have no financial problems. I know there
are people who want to support us. One of the oil businessmen told
me yesterday that he is ready to fund production of the film".
