"Our leaders too are getting sure that movie is a very important
weapon for the country, it is a very important means to speak about
ourselves, about our identity, culture and shortcomings," mentioned
the director of the international film festival "Golden Apricot"
Harutyun Khachatryan.

H. Khachatryan believes that the film art should be paid a great
attention at. On this occasion he especially stressed the problem
of financing the film projects as a result of which many "wonderful
projects do not reach their audience."

Talking about the problems of the "Golden Apricot" the director of
the festival stressed the fact of the lack of cinemas in Yerevan. He
mentioned that the lack of cinemas and the absence of the corresponding
equipments create big problems for presenting the needed films in
the festival.

"We also have a problem of territory: we do not wish to have our
private territory, let it be governmental but let it for a long term,"
mentioned H. Khachatryan.
