OPEN LETTER TO FILM DIRECTOR ROMAN BALAYAN

Your request to keep two minutes of silence in memory of the victims of March 1 in the Golden Apricot Film Festival is evidence to your traditional behavior which predetermines the humanitarian spirit of your marvelous art. We are not surprised at the response of the Armenian so-called Public Television, H1. We are happy that it did not surprise and worry you neither, which determined your visit to the island-citadel of freedom and independence, NORTH AVENUE. We do not apologize to you for the impoliteness of H1, we do not thank you for visiting North Avenue. You did what your traditional upbringing and civil stance dictated you. Love and respect for one’s own people is a most powerful potential. We wish you more creative success, in glory of human dignity of which you are a guard. With love and respect Board and Coordinating Council of the Forum of Intelligentsia
