The State Prize has been handed to Armenian-French director and
producer Serge Avedikian, director and producer Martoun Adoyan and
producer Taguhi Karapetyan.
Ukrainian producer Olena Fetisova, who is among the State Prize
winners, could not arrive to attend the ceremony.
Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan noted he has received a letter from
the Ukrainian producer.
In her letter, Olena Fetisova explains the reasons for her not arriving
in Yerevan.
"I will hand the State Prize over to her through her fellows and, in
accordance with her wish, we will direct the financial component to
charity, doubling it from the Armenian presidential fund. I understand
Ms Fetisova's motives, but I would like to address dear Ms Fetisova
and the Ukrainian people and say that we are friendly nations, and
thousands of facts are evidence of this friendliness and fraternity -
from the medieval temples in Lvov to the active Ukrainian community
in Armenia," President Serzh Sargsyan said.
