YEREVAN, MARCH 8, ARMENPRESS: British filmmaker Liz Mermin has shot a
one-hour movie about the disastrous situation of human rights in
Azerbaijan titled `Amazing Azerbaijan'. Film has been already
presented in 9 European countries, including `One World' documentary
film festival in Prague, Czech Republic.
As reports Armenpress, Liz Mermin has noted in the interview with
`Independence' radio station that after watching the film European
audience was shocked by the disastrous situation of human rights in
Azerbaijan.
`People were surprised how little they knew about Azerbaijan. Only
after watching the film they found out that European countries,
especially Great Briatian, had great investments in a country with
such violations of human rights. We hope that the film will promote
the elimination of unawareness,' she said.
It is noted in the film that expensive events organized in Azerbaijan
create a wrong impression, as human rights are severely violated in
the country.
Film shooting coincided with Eurovision Song Contest held in Azerbaijan.
