The Golden Apricot Film Festival Board has issued a eulogy mourning
the passing of Italian poet, writer and screenwriter Tonino Guerra.

“With the passing of Tonino Guerra the light of the world has a bit
diminished and a great sun has left the world of cinema,” writes the
film festival board in it eulogy.

The board notes that Tonino Guerra was a sincere friend of the Golden
Apricot Festival and the Armenian people.

“We too loved this simple man who had a boundless zest for life. You
could not help loving him. He not only dedicated himself to the cinema,
the arts and poetry, but to everyone he met.”

Guerra, born in 1920, collaborated with some of the most prominent
film directors of the world.

“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
