Alert film
Within only December, 31 homeless peopled died in basements or
construction premises of cold in Yerevan. Only 15 of them died of
freezing on December 19.
The atmosphere at the Narekatsi cultural center was depressing. It
hosted the event of demonstration of `The nameless graves' documentary
organized by Yerkir Media TV company and accompanied by photos of Onik
Grigorian. Many bums shot in the film by Hayk Ordian (director), Edik
Baghdasarian and Irina Hovhannisian (script writers) are no longer alive.
`Let us honor the memory of those 31 dead people for whom nobody said a
prayer or lit a candle,' said Edik Baghdasarian. `Perhaps, it will make
us less negligent to these people.'
The tombs in the Nubarashen cemetery only have numbers: no names, no
birth or death dates. And each tomb covers a whole human history, would
the great German writer Goethe say.
