    YEREVAN, Armenia -- Atom Egoyan's two-year-old movie Ararat won the
    top prize at the Golden Apricot Film Festival of works by ethnic
    Armenian directors, officials said Monday.

    The festival included 57 movies by directors from 20 countries.
    Egoyan is a Canadian of Armenian heritage.

    The film depicts the plight of Armenians in Ottoman Turkey. Armenians
    say that a 1915-1923 campaign to force Armenians out of eastern
    Turkey left 1.5 million people dead and amounted to genocide.
