Azerbaijan’s Ministry of Culture and Tourism does not support a
festival of Azerbaijani films, planned for the Armenian city of Gyumri.
“I don’t understand how the Armenians are going to get those films.
They are all stored in our State Film Foundation and no film can ever
be taken without state consent,” the head of the ministry’s cinema
section, Yusif Sheikhov, said.
“Because of Armenia’s policy of occupation, the Ministry of Culture
and Tourism of Azerbaijan does not take part in joint actions with
this country and is not going to do so in future,” Sheikhov said.
He said involvement in joint projects was a matter for the conscience
of non-governmental organizations.
