Film has nothing to do with Armenia
Support A1+!
Today a group of police officers with shields and helmets had blocked the section of Mashtots Avenue where Margaryan Hospital is located.
Passers-by were surprised and concerned. They asked what was going on and after receiving a response, some left and others stayed to follow-up on the event.
Camera operators from Iran were shooting a feature film called "Calmy Street", which is about a conference held in a city and a journalist providing coverage of the event. The group of camera operators assured that they were shooting general scenes of police actions and that the setting was not Armenia.
"We simply have problems with shooting such scenes in Iran," said the camera operators.
The Iranians let "A1+" shoot and provide coverage of their shootings in the beginning, but later head of the group who represented herself as Hasmik Abrahamyan strictly prohibited "A1+" from shooting and said that the area was theirs.
Despite "A1+"'s claims that the area of the hospital and the nearby street can't belong to them, Abrahamyan called the police supervising the shootings there.
