Turkish Films Aren’t Being Screened to Spread Propaganda: Georgi Vanyan

The Turkish Film Festival in Armenia doesn’t aim to disseminate propaganda of Turkish culture in Armenia, said festival director Georgi Vanyan at a press conference today, while denying reports by Regnum agency that the UK has invested $13 million USD to spread Turkish cultural propaganda in Armenia.

Vanyan noted that the festival’s budget is only 3.9 million AMD (less than $10,000 USD).

“But if one day we can have that much money, you’ll see what kind of festival we’ll organize with the aim of making the world beautiful,” he said.
