YEREVAN, JANUARY 15, NOYAN TAPAN. A film under the title "Genocide
With No Comment" was shown on January 14 at the Erebuni Plaza
business center for the staff of the RA Ministry of Diaspora. The
film is completely based on documentary materials. The script-writer
is Vardan Pap, the director and producer is Alexander Sarduri.

According to the director, the accusation voiced in Germany regarding
non-objective presentation of the Genocide by the Armenians became
an occasion for shooting the film.

As Noyan Tapan was informed by the RA Ministry of Diaspora Press
and Public Relations Department, archives documents of the German
Foreign Ministry were used in the film. Journalist Wolfgang Gust,
a German by nationality, played the leading part in the film. He has
done rather a large work in German archives in the issue of revealing
and studying materials regarding the Armenian Genocide.
