The film â€œWar and peaceâ€? produced by Armenian Hovanesyan was demonstrated at the festival. The film is about the frames taken by an Armenian reporter fought in Karabakh and the fates of the people who fought there after the war. The film is based on falsehood, in which Armenians are introduced to the European audience as victims. The film will today be demonstrated in Brno, the second big city of Czechia.
The members of Azerbaijani Diaspora in Czechia and Azerbaijani students delivered brochures and information bulletins to the audience in order to inform them of truth on the Karabakh problem.
Karabakh war veteran Fuad Alkhasov, student of Brno Technical University Nariman Topchubashov, student of Carlow University Vusal Hajiyev invited the spectators and Armenians to debate and answered their questions.
Czechia Culture Ministry is one of the organizers of the festival. The students officially protested to the ministry for permitting demonstration of such a film in the festival on human rights.
