YEREVAN, August 25–The organizers of the Golden Apricot International Film Festival in the Republic of Armenia are likely to bring an action against Turkey, since the country announced it was going to organize a film festival with the same name.
On August 20, the Turkish newspaper Milliyet wrote that an international film festival was going to be organized in Malatya, and the grand prize of the festival was going to be called the “Golden Apricot.”
The press service of the Golden Apricot Film Festival issued a statement stating that the Armenian film festival has nothing to do with the international film event, planned in Turkey.
The organizers of the Golden Apricot film festival stressed that after receiving detailed information, they will decide if they should bring legal action against Turkey for using the brand “Golden Apricot.”
