Yerevan hosts premiere screening of Tigranakert documentaryJune 4, 2010 - 20:16 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - On June 4, Yerevan hosted a premiere screening of Tigranakert documentary. Director of the film Tigran Khzmalyan said that the documentary was created during 1.5 year, mainly in Artsakh. “I learned much while shooting the film, that is why it should present interest also for viewers,” Khzmalyan told journalists. Commenting on limited number of viewers, Khzmalyan said he had not managed to organize a big advertisement campaign of the film. He added that Armenia has always been Tigranakert, as this word literally means “created by Tigran,” while Armenia has become a political factor during the tenure of Tigran the Great. “The fact of Tigranakert revelation as a result of excavations is among important achievements of the Artsakh victory,” Khzmalyan said. The documentary dedicated to the 2150th anniversary of Armenian King Tigran the Great is in Armenian language, but it will be translated into English and Russian by the end of this year.
