I preferred to produce this movie. It is a big challenge to face with the history. Armenians have put themselves in front of the history by committing Khojaly tragedy. You will see what I want to say. My aim is to spread the information about the incidents happened in Khojaly to all over the world. The world nations have very little information about this unprecedented tragedy. We will try to let everybody see the truth and horrific trait of Armenians. Director of “Madaniyyat” (Culture) channel Honored Arts figure, Jamil Guliyev said that the movie has been produced with high professionalism and emphasized the importance of such screen works in learning our history by the young generation. J.Guliyev reminded the thought of Michel Rommo, who produced the movie of Usual Fascism in 1969: fascism will be more brutal in the future. The Khojaly incidents showed that Armenian fascism is more vicious than German fascism. Then the movie was played. In the movie, a refugee child, who was 8 years old during the Khojaly genocide committed by Armenians, is telling his story. This screen work which was produced in the temper of Western movies has already been presented for rewards in various competitions. The presentation of this screen work in the nearest future is expected in Washington and Los-Angeles.
