Saturday was a real holiday for the residents of the Tatev village
(Syunik region) as they were offered a unique chance to watch the film
about Garegin Nzhdeh, the 20th century Armenian national hero, who was
famed for his liberation struggle for Syunik.
The film, which has been produced quite recently, had attracted both
the young and the elderly in the village. Its presentation on a big
screen was organized by the Tatev Renaissance foundation and the
company managing the Tatever ropeway. The day wasn't chosen randomly;
on April 26, 1921 the Republic of Mountainous Armenia was proclaimed
in the Monastery of Tatev.
`We came up with the idea of screening the movie here after it was
premiered in January. But that wasn't possible due to bad weather
conditions. And its presentation today, on the anniversary of
Mountainous Armenia's proclamation, was logical and sensible,' the
foundation's director, Artak Melkonyan, told reporters.
Before the film's screening, the ethnographic musical ensemble Maratuk
performed national songs and dances for the villagers, most of whom
felt enthusiastic enough to join them. Speaking to Tert.am, Anahit
Sargsyan, a member of the ensemble, said they perform concerts in
different places this year this year which marks a jubilee anniversary
for them (the ensemble celebrates its 30th birthday this year).
Actor Shant Hovhannisyan, who portrayed the young Garegin Nzhdeh, told
reporters that the film has been already screened in different cities
and towns of Armenia, as well as Russia. But he said its presentation
in Syunik is especially exciting.
`For me, the film's screening for the Syunik people is important
because they are the unbiased audience. I tried to maximum approximate
myself to the character and not to disappoint the audience,' he said.
