The film telling about the glorious Armenian statesman and general,
Garegin Nzhdeh, did not attract a government funding, according to
the National Cinema Center.
"We have absolutely nothing to do with that," a spokesperson for the
Center, Ruzan Bagratuni, told Tert.am, noting that the films produced
in Armenia receive a government funding through their organization
after being approved by their Artistic Council.
The local newspaper Chorrord Inqnishkhanutyun said earlier today that
the film's costs - 7 million US Dollars - were partially covered by
Maxim Hakobyan, an owner of the Syunik Copper-Molybdenum Plant. The
paper claimed that Hakobyan had paid several million dollars to the
director, Hrach Keshishyan, for producing the movie.
But the report was neither confirmed nor denied by Hakobyan's assistant
whom Tert.am contacted for further comment.
