ARTSAKH DOCUMENTARY TAKES GOLDEN MIKE AWARD
Radio and TV News Association of Southern California makes the pick
PRESS RELEASE
March 20, 2009
WASHINGTON, DC - The Radio and Television News Association of Southern
California (see <http://www.rtna.org/> www.rtna.org) awarded a
documentary "Nagorno Karabakh, Artsakh: The Struggle for Freedom" with
a prestigious Golden Mike for Best TV Documentary in 2008.
The film was co-written and co-produced by a Los-Angeles-based
journalist Peter Musurlian (Globalist Films) and former NKR Permanent
Representative to the USA, currently NKR Deputy Foreign Minister
Vardan Barseghian.
Narine Aghabalyan, head of the "Tzir Katin" (Milky Way) Studio in
Stepanakert, NKR, and a U.S.-based freelance journalist Vardan Akchyan
provided most of the video material for the documentary.
The film was aired on TV6 in Burbank, California, on September 16,
2008 and also screened the next day at a Capitol Hill event titled
"NKR/Artsakh: 20 Years of Freedom, Democracy, and Progress" and
attended by Members of the U.S. Congress, diplomats, prominent human
rights activists, experts, and community representatives.
Consequently, the documentary was posted on the
<http://www.youtube.com/ArtsakhOnline> ArtsakhOnline YouTube channel,
maintained by Artsakh's diplomatic mission, reaching an audience of
over 11,000 viewers in a few months. The film represents a powerful
combination of interviews, narration and video footage that eloquently
presents Artsakh's story.
Established by the Association 59 years ago, the Golden Mike Award is
one of the most-coveted by Radio and Television journalists. Among
this year's award recipients is CNN's well-known journalist Larry
King.
