    documentary episodes that were unknown till ourdays, as well as of
    the foreign expert reports, media publications, and international
    documents.

    "The film's goal is to give to the world the truth about the ethnic
    massacres against Armenian population in Baku of 1990. This is very
    important both in sense of historical reality and the true, as nearly
