An international documentary film festival focusing on human rights
is being held in Czechia.

The film "War and peace" produced by Armenian Hovanesyan was
demonstrated at the festival. The film is about the frames taken by
an Armenian reporter fought in Karabakh and the fates of the people
who fought there after the war. The film is based on falsehood, in
which Armenians are introduced to the European audience as victims.
The film will today be demonstrated in Brno, the second big city of
Czechia.

The members of Azerbaijani Diaspora in Czechia and Azerbaijani
students delivered brochures and information bulletins to the
audience in order to inform them of truth on the Karabakh problem.

Karabakh war veteran Fuad Alkhasov, student of Brno Technical
University Nariman Topchubashov, student of Carlow University Vusal
Hajiyev invited the spectators and Armenians to debate and answered
their questions.

Czechia Culture Ministry is one of the organizers of the festival.
The students officially protested to the ministry for permitting
demonstration of such a film in the festival on human rights.

CT2 channel, Lidovskiye Noviny, Prgue Post, Radio Cesko and other
mass media covers the festival. APA
