YEREVAN, JUNE 22, ARMENPRESS: The Russian Ray of Peace Filmmaking
Company, headed by the Armenian director Gagik
Simonyan, is producing a documentary film in Moscow telling about the
Shahumyan Region of the Nagorno Karabakh Republic, which
was taken by Azerbaijan in 1992.
As Armenpress was reported by Gagik Simonyan, the film is made by the
motives of the book of the Armenian businessman Ashot
Khachatryan living in Moscow `Tragedy of my nation' and will have the
same title. The idea and the financial assistance as well belong
to Ashot Khachatryan.
The creative group has been working on the film for a year. The
director emphasized that the creation of the film aims at keeping
the young generation vigilant and showing with what cost the
independence of our country was achieved and what wars were on
the way.
The documentary will be ready on July 20 and the premiere will be held
in Moscow and then in the United States of America and
Armenia.
The Shahumyan Region is one of the eight regions of the Nagorno
Karabakh Republic. It covers the northern and north-western parts of
the country.
In 1992 Shahumyan was taken by the Azerbaijani army. Damage was severe
and the Armenian population (about 20,000) fled. The
historical name of the town of Shahumyan was abolished and renamed to
AÅ?aÄ?ı AÄ?cakÉ'nd in 1992 and the town was populated by ethnic
Azerbaijanis.
