    THE ARMENIAN CODE

    No advertising promoter could provide for the commerce success of
    Â"Da Vinchi's CodeÂ" film than it did the church. First Vatican did
    the advertisement of the film and the Armenian Apostolic Church added
    a little to it in our small country. Those who didn't know at all Den
    Brawn's and wouldn't be interested in the film ran immediately to the
    cinemas to know what the church criticized so much. The complaint of
    the elite of Catholics can be explained; first one of the intrigues of
    the book /I haven't watched the film/ refers to a totalitarian sect
    which acts by Vatican sponsorship, second, inquisition, forbidding
    literature and culture works, firing people and books include in the
    Â"traditionsÂ" of that church. But our church, which doesn't have
    such traditions, has no reason to forbid that film.

    A paper is given with the thicket of that film in Cinema Â"NairiÂ"
    in which the church warns, Â"This film has no connection with the
    Biblical truthÂ". But is there anybody who think that it has; the
    books are written and films are shot for not "having connectionÂ"
    with any truth. A group hands out leaflets at the same Cinema, which
    starts with the following; "Dark powers want us to pull up from our
    roots and make us disown our secret belief. "Da Vinchi's Code" false
    film throws mud at Bible, God Son and Cross sacrament".

    Frankly speaking I didn't notice such feeling during reading the book;
    it is a usual easy reading detective, which is in mode today but
    will be forgotten soon. The version of Christ who has wife and heirs
    gives some sort of sharpness to the film. In the same way Bulgakov in
    his famous novel needed in " re-editing" the Bible for grasping the
    Soviet reality. And finally, 10 of thousands foreign enemies were
    trying to obliterate our belief but they didn't succeed in it, and
    now will Den Brawn destroy our 1700 year s old culture with his book?

    I'm inclined to think that our officials can do it who all have already
    broken Â"Don't stealÂ" and some of them Â"Don't killÂ" precepts.
