YEREVAN, JULY 6, NOYAN TAPAN. The Armenian General Benevolent Union
(AGBU) awarded Bulgarian film documentalist and journalist Tsvetana
Paskaleva a Garbis Papazian prize for truthful and complete coverage
of the Artsakh struggle, her bravery, as well as her entire devotion
to Armenia.
As member of the AGBU Central Board of Directors Yervant Zorian
mentioned at the ceremony organized on that occasion, T. Paskaleva
has made a great contribution to the Karabakh war.
Garbis Papazian prize was founded in 1988, on the initiative and with
the financial means of benefactor Garbis Papazian. The annual prize
is awarded to the foreign intellectuals and figures who assisted
spreading and promotion of the Armenian people's history, culture,
art and introduction of the Armenian Cause.
According to Armenian Cinematographers' Union Chairman Ruben
Gevorgiants' characterization, T. Paskaleva carried the whole war
on her shoulders, endangering her life at any moment. "Tsvetana
Paskaleva has been the first member of the Armenian Cinematographers'
Union. The reason was obvious: we owed to her the victory we had
gained," R. Gevorgiants mentioned.
Prize winner T. Paskaleva mentioned in her turn: "I had seen during
the Karabakh war human truth which need to be revealed and protected. I
was obliged to come and shoot the fierce reality in which the peaceful
population of Karabakh lived." TV programs prepared by T. Paskaleva
were widely spread over CNN, NBC, ANTENE-2 and other European TV
companies and information agencies.
T. Paskaleva's "My Beloved People: Alive and Dead" film which was
shot in Nagorno Karabakh in 1993, was shown during the ceremony.
Such intellectuals as Doctor Tessa Hofmann, Professor Alpago Novello,
Doctor Christopher Rucker, etc. have been awarded the Garbis Papazian
prize of the Armenian General Benevolent Union during the recent years.
