/PanARMENIAN.Net/ "War is not Traceless", the second film about
Karabakh war, will be prepared in 2010, says film director George
Ghazaryan.
As he told a PanARMENIAN.Net reporter, the motion picture will form
part of the film series featuring the true history of Artsakh war.
"The idea of creating a film series was born long ago. The first film-
"The Shooting House" - was produced in 2009. Telling about civilians,
we aim to present the real picture of war," Ghazaryan said.
The second film - "War is not Traceless" - is based on the stories
of Gurgen Melikyan, Dean at Yerevan State University's Oriental
Languages Department.
"The film plot is based on real stories told by Gurgen Melikyan,
who saw an Armenian serviceman helping a pregnant woman reach an
Armenian settlement, ridding her of Azeri soldiers' barabarism,"
the director said.
Unlike the first film which lasts 20 minutes, the second film has 40
minutes' running time, said the scenario writer and director.
George Ghazaryan was for many years a photo reporter and TV journalist,
director and documentary film maker, founder of the "League of NKR
Journalists".
Gurgen Melikyan, Oriental studies specialists, Professor at Yerevan
State University (YSU), Dean of Oriental Studies Department. Chairman
of Gurgen Melikyan fund for over 10 years.
Since the times of Karabakh war, Gurgen Melikyan rendered humanitarian
assistance to Artsakh, maintaining permanent contacts with reputable
guests regularly visiting the area. Over the recent years, his
fund has carried out various activities. One of key components of
the organization's program is the assistance to large families of
Kashatgh region.
Shooting House is the first feature film in the history of Artsakh
(NKR). It's a 20-minute film based on the history of writer, journalist
and participant of Karabakh war Ashot Beglaryan. The film was shot
under the support of NKR Defense Ministry and Public Television of
Artsakh (financial sponsor: businessman Karen Baghdasarov). Starring
in the film is participant of Karabakh war Martin Aloyan, actor of
the Drama Theatre after Vahram Papazyan.
The conflict between Nagorno Karabakh and Azerbaijan broke out in
1988 as result of the ethnic cleansing the latter launched in the
final years of the Soviet Union. The Karabakh War was fought from
1991 to 1994. Since the ceasefire in 1994, sealed by Armenia, Nagorno
Karabakh and Azerbaijan, most of Nagorno Karabakh and several regions
of Azerbaijan around it (the security zone) remain under the control
of NKR defense army. Armenia and Azerbaijan are holding peace talks
mediated by the OSCE Minsk Group up till now.
