/PanARMENIAN.Net/ March 9 a decision was made at a meeting of Council
of Europe Eurimages Fund to provide 600 thousand euros to famous
Italian film directors, brothers Paolo and Vittorio Taviani for their
Lark Farm film on the Armenian Genocide. All jury members, except
Turkey, supported the decision. The Fund, which promotes European
cinema production, includes 32 states. In his speech Fund President
Jacques Toubon (France) resolutely defended the decision passed
and accused Turkey in committing a Genocide, calling it historical
reality. In spite of the denialist stance of the Turkish representative
and official Ankara’s efforts, the jury did not change their mind,
