    American filmmaker, producer of Book of Eli and From Hell films Allen
    Hughes said that first of all he appreciates a warm human attitude,
    which he observed in Armenia.

    `But Armenia's cultural heritage also caused a great interest,' Hughes
    told a press conference on July 17.

    According to him, the Soviet Union has had its impact on the
    architecture of Yerevan, and it does not correspond to architectural
    traditions of Armenia.

    Nevertheless, he was surprised at the beauty of Republic Square.

    `I am less aware of Armenia than many people present here. However,
    when I learned that I will visit Armenia, I started studying its
    history and traditions,' noted Hughes.

    Speaking about his childhood, Hughes noted that he grew up in Detroit,
    to which their Armenian mother moved from Iran, when she was
    12-year-old. Later they moved to California.

    Hughes noted that first of all America has taught him how to adapt. He
    added that the aspiration towards was supported by his mother.
