On the 29th of July, the Armenian Assembly of America's Yerevan Office hosted a film screening.  AAA Summer Internship Program intern Ishkhanuhi Matevosyan also took part in the screening and the discussion. 

The film was a youth-made documentary made by AAA Youth Club members Armina Hovhannisyan, Haik Toroyan and David Asoyan. The documentary was filmed in Khachik, a remote village located right on the Armenia-Azerbaijan borderline. The documentary talks about the social perspective of the Nagorno Karabakh conflict, the Armenian-Azerbaijani relations, the consequences of the conflict in the eyes of the inhabitants of the small village of Khachik. The short film was followed by a Q&A session, as well as a discussion about the current state of the Nagorno Karabakh conflict, the ongoing negotiations and the possible future settlement. The film was directed by a young film-maker Hakob Manukyan.
