Dear Friends
I am sincerely grateful for your invitation to attend the film festival, and get acquainted with people, who honor the history and culture of Armenia.Once again I express my deepest gratitude and appreciation for “Let there be light” award from the Armenian Apostolic S. Church.
This was my first visit to your amazing country where I saw how difficult people’s lives are here. Your festival is a truly noble task, because it acquaints people with the world’s best films, educates them with the true cinematic atmosphere, which is free from moral weakness and cheap tricks.Especially I would like to separate your wonderful youth. God give them the opportunity to use their enthusiasm and to be able to work for their homeland’s welfare.
I wish your festival further prosperity and improvement.
