YEREVAN, JUNE 7, NOYAN TAPAN – ARMENIANS TODAY. “The Golden Apricot
(Voske Tsiran) international film festival has already become the
component of the Armenian culture. It is not important at all who is
the festival’s founder, the state or an individual. The only thing
which is important is that the festival exists and moves forward
with proud steps,” Karine Khodikian, RA Deputy Minister of Culture
and Youth Affairs, declared at the June 7 press conference.

According to her, RA government and Ministry of Culture estimate and
attach importance to this festival exending year by year.

According to K.Khodikian, in this circumstance the state is only a
financial partner. “The best assistance of the Ministry of Culture
is financial, the amount of which increases year by year.” The Deputy
Minister informed that in the first year the state had allocated only
3 mln drams for the festival, in the second year it became 25 mln
and in 2006 doubled and became 50 mln drams (about 118 thousand USD).

Emil Lazarian: “I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
