A new documentary telling about cartographer Rouben Galichian's works
will be presented to public in early November at the initiative of
three young authors. "The Proven Axiom" - a 35-minute documentary
is a response to falsifications of history by our neighbors. The
distribution of the film will be supported by the Public Relations
and Information Center of the President's Administration.
The documentary authored by three journalists is actually a collection
of facts and the works of cartographer Ruben Galichian. The latter
published several books on the ancient maps of Armenia and adjacent
regions; he has a huge amount of data about the information the
museums and libraries of the world possess about Armenia. Galichian's
research works provide a basis to assert that Armenia and Persia are
the most ancient countries of the region with a history of more than
2,500 years.
After the passage of 2,600 years the Turkish state tried to erase
the name 'Armenia' from maps as a result of the Armenian Genocide,
but historic facts are inerasable and irrefutable, Ruben Galchyan is
confident. According to the cartographer, inerasable is also the fact
that the history of the country that carries the name 'Azerbaijan'
starts from 1918, despite the assertions of Azerbaijanis that they
are the descendants of Caucasian Albanians.
"It's enough to show Galichian's maps during different meetings, and
our Azerbaijani colleagues immediately fall silent," says historian
Gurgen Hovhannisyan, Adviser on CIS Issues at the Ministry of Foreign
Affairs. According to him, nowadays good propaganda is an efficient
tool of diplomacy, but propaganda is nothing without facts.
"Ruben Galichian's works serve as a firm ground for us in the
propaganda war," the historian says.
