YEREVAN, 31 MARCH, ARMENPRESS. German filmmaker and playwright Christian Papke’s documentary film “Armenia: Long Road of Shadows” will be broadcast on German and Austrian television channels in April. In an interview with “Armenpress”, the director of the 45-minute film mentioned that he had received an offer from the National Television of Germany to produce a film about Armenia. “I spent a long time in Armenia. I have read a lot about your country, but I’m not certain if I have been able to know it completely,” the director mentioned, adding that he was most impressed with the Khor Virap Monastery.

When asked what his impressions of modern-day Armenia were, the German filmmaker/playwright mentioned: “You Armenians are living in very difficult times. The country is taking its first steps after being deprived of sovereignty for many years and finally gaining independence. In some sense, Armenia is like a teenager enjoying life and discovering herself, but who is also inexperienced and makes mistakes. This is my impression,” Papke emphasized.
