Such people like Georgy Vanyan are traitors of the country and do not
have the right to live, the head of the Armenian Union of Filmmakers,
Ruben Gevorkyants, told Arminfo correspondent when commenting on
Vanyan's plan to hold a festival of Azerbaijani films in Gyumri.
He thinks that Vanyan is guided only with a wish to earn money thank
to grants. "What he wants is to be caught in the street and beaten.
Then he will immediately run to any embassy and claim political
asylum... Vanyan is a traitor of the motherland. Let him leave for
Azerbaijan", - he said.
The plans of the director of the Caucasus Centre for Peacemaking
Initiatives, Georgiy Vanyan, to hold a festival of Azerbaijani
films in Gyumri on 12 April caused a scandal. Yesterday a protest
action was held in Gyumri in which Gyumri mayor Vardan Gukasyan,
representatives of Armenian Apostolic Church and civil and political
forces took part. They adopted a decision to block today the "Asparez"
journalist club where the festival had to be held.
The Armenian Youth Union of ARFD has negatively assessed such an
initiative and called on its organizers first to demonstrate in Baku
the films dedicated to the events in Sumgait and to the Armenian
genocide.
As for Vanyan, he has immediately made use of the situation and
once again raised scandal around his person. He has already called
yesterday's protest actions in Gyumri "the propaganda of terror" and
"another campaign of blackwash". Incidentally, Azerbaijani Culture
and Tourism Ministry does not support Vanyan's idea either.
