Film campaign launched by Council of Europe kicked off today at
the National Gallery aimed to prevent trafficking, violence against
children and racism. The selected 16 films which won the competition
will be shown every Saturday and Sunday. The entrance is free.
The audience was shown a Spanish film "Forgotten" which is about
violence against children. As reported, the films are in original
languages with English subtitles. So, if someone does not know at
least English, the campaign has no meaning for him/her.
The Armenian Law on Language says that Armenian translations must be
provided during mass events.
However, Melik Karapetyan, manager of film project, believes there
was not violation of law. He said they would be very limited films,
if Armenian translations were provided for all.
