The shooting of the documentary on 20 years since the Armenian massacre
in Baku is nearing its end. "We have managed to obtain documentary
cadres the public has been unaware of so far," the project manager,
journalist Marina Grigoryan told Panorama.am.
Note that a project sponsored by the RA President’s Administration
PR and Information Center is being conducted in the frames of which
documentaries on the Armenian genocide, mass violations, the killings
of the Armenians in Azerbaijan and NK territories in 1988-92 are
being shot.
The film includes the memories of the Baku Armenian refugees,
appraisals by the Armenian and foreign experts, international
documents.
"The film aims to tell the truth over the incidents that occurred in
January, 1990 in Baku. This is very significant from the viewpoint of
the historical justice and truth, since 20 years after the tragedy,
Azerbaijan is intent to eliminate the traces of the offence, and they
cynically distort the January events when about 300 people were killed,
hundreds of others got injured and handicapped," M. Grigoryan said.
The presentation of "Baku, January 1990: a Common Genocide" documentary
is due mid-January next year. The film will be showed in Armenian,
with simultaneous translations into Russian and English languages. The
film will be available on the Internet and on DVDs.
Films on the Armenian genocide in Sumgayit, Baku, Maragha, Khojalou
events, as well as the war prisoners and their fortune during the
Karabakh movement are to be shot and spread.
