    THE WOUNDS OF KARABAKH IN SIX LANGUAGES

    Next week, the Bulgarian journalist Tsvetana Paskaleva will present
    a 7-part, 3.5-hour-long film, The Wound of Karabakh, in six languages.

    The film deals with the history of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict,
    from its outbreak to the capture of Shushi. The film was patented
    and released in the United States. At present, this is the first
    documentary dealing with the history of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict.

    "When, by means of the Vesti news program I showed what was going on
    Shahumyan, it was an information boom. I showed how the Soviet army,
    in cooperation with the Azeri task force, was evicting the Armenians
    from their land," Paskaleva recalled.

    The first part, Heights of Hope, released in 1991, tells about
    Shahumyan and a never-dying hope.

    The second part deals with the tight ring round Stepanakert - after
    the fall of Shahumyan and Martakert, when the Nagorno-Karabakh capital
    was shelled every day.

    The third part, My Dear, Alive and Dead, tells about the war without
    hostilities - about the children, widows and old people, who lived
    the war zone.

    "I was naïve then. I believed each of my reports or piece of news
    could change something," Paskaleva says.

    The fourth part of the film deals with the formation of Armenia's
    national army. The fifth part tells about the Armenian intellectuals
    that joined the army in battle.

    The sixth part deals with the post-war period. Stepanakert was being
    cleared of the ruins, and birthrate showed an upsurge. The liberation
    of Shushi sums up the series. "Now that 20 years have passed I can
    presented some kind of report. I feel especially responsible for it,
    and I can put my signature to each word and each single picture,"
    says Paskaleva.

    She believes that, shown in six languages, the film will have
    as serious impact on the international community. Of much greater
    importance, however, is, according to Tsvetana Paskaleva, the message
    for the Armenian young people - "they should know about the cost of
    Artsakh's libration."
