    YEREVAN.- Armenia will host a festival of Japanese cinema. The festival
    will be held in Yerevan on November 2-4 and Gyumri on November 5-6.

    The event is organized by the Armenian-Japanese scientific, educational
    and cultural center Hikari in cooperation with the Embassy of Japan in
    Armenia, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of Culture
    of Armenia as well as in partnership with the Armenian representation
    of JT International Luxembourg S.A.

    It is the second festival of Japanese cinema held in Armenia. The
    program features five movies, head of the center Karine Piliposyan
    told reporters on Wednesday.

    This year marks the 20th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic
    relations between Armenia and Japan and the festival will be the
    fifth event organized by Hikari center.

    In his turn representative of Culture Ministry Aram Gyurjyan noted
    that Armenian and Japanese nations have different original cultures
    but there is also commonality dictated by similar history.

    "This is a historical path that changed peoples' way of thinking
    making them soldiers, a special set of values and a code of honor,"
    he emphasized.
