/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Late September film "Arakel" dedicated to the 90-th
anniversary of the Armenian Genocide will be for the fist time shown
in Yerevan. The film was shot by Stones in Heavens TV Company and
directed by Zohrab Bek-Gasparents. The shooting was conducted in
Armenia. "Arakel" is the story of an Armenian family, which fell
victim in the Armenian Genocide. The film will become one more call
for the recognition of the Genocide. "Not everyone can realize and
redeem his fault. Unfortunately Turks do not understand this", the
film director stated in a conversation with PanARMENIAN.Net reporter.
In his words, Armenians were always remarkable for their strength,
which always helped them to survive and is vividly shown in the film.
Starting with this autumn the film will be shown in Europe, U.S.,
Canada and Argentina, Zohrab Bek-Gasparents said.
