YEREVAN, 20 JUNE, ARMENPRESS: "We will not keep silence" youth initiative will present the online premiere of documentary film “Ani, huff the queen of ruins” in Armenian and Russian languages at its YouTube- channel on June 21. The film was made by the same Youth initiative. Armenpress reports that the film was shot by the young representatives of the Youth Initiative entitled "We will not keep silence”, during the pilgrimage in Western Armenia. It is shown in the movie, in what kind of deplorable conditions is the Armenian cultural heritage in the hands of Turks, while the international bodies still go on keeping silence. The members of the initiative have only today sent the shot scenes and the cover letter to UNESCO demanding to make practical steps toward the preservation of Ani ruins. Ani is a ruined and uninhabited medieval Armenian city-site situated in the Turkish province of Kars near the border with Armenia.
