Writer and publicist Tigran Paskevichyan has presented to the media his new film telling about the political upheaval of recent years that ended in mass street protests and their subsequent violent suppression.
Paskevichyan, who is known for his pro-opposition views, is the author of the scenario for this 124-minute-long film entitled “The Lost Spring of Armenia”. The writer believes a full disclosure of the circumstances of the March 1-2, 2008 violence that followed a disputed presidential election is the most urgent and vital issue for Armenia today.
