Presentation of Film on Nagorno-Karabakh to Take Place in London
Great Britain, London / Òrend corr G. Ahmadova / On 27 September in
London the University of Modern Arts, Azerbaijani and Armenian
journalists from Azerbaijani region of Nagorno-Karabakh will present
their jointly-shot film on Nagorno-Karabakh. That is a unique
collective work by the journalists from both nations which have been
involved in military conflict for over 10 years.
The film is a product of the conflicting sides’ initiative entitled
`Dialogue Through Film’ and the British NGO of `Reconciliation
Resources’, according to the report of the London Institute. The
makers of the film will take part in the discussions about their
collective work.
The film includes 6 parts – `A Fairy Tale On Karabakh’, `A Tough Nut’,
`Swept Away By Life’, `Beetle-eaters’, `13 Years Past’, and
`Revival’. Three parts were shot by Azerbaijan and the other three by
the Armenians.
The presentation ceremony is expected to be attended by members of
Great Britain’s Azerbaijani and Armenian diasporas.
The conflict between the two countries of South Caucasus began in 1988
due to territorial claims by Armenia against Azerbaijan. Armenia has
occupied 20% of the Azerbaijani land including the Nagorno-Karabakh
region and its seven surrounding Districts. Since 1992, these
territories have been under the occupation of the Armenian Forces. In
1994, Azerbaijan and Armenia signed a ceasefire agreement at which
time the active hostilities ended. The Co-chairs of the OSCE Minsk
Group ( Russia, France and USA) are currently holding peaceful
negotiations.
