The Armenian organizers of Golden Apricot International Film Festival will possibly file a lawsuit against Turkey for organizing a festival of the same name (Golden Apricot) in the Turkish city of Malatya.

In the August 20 article Milliyet reported that the first international film festival will be held in Malatya. The main prize of the festival will be called Golden Apricot. However, the article also noted that similar festival had been held in Armenia since 2004.

The press service of the Armenian Golden Apricot festival told NEWS.am that the Yerevan festival has nothing in common with the mentioned event. The organizers of the Yerevan festival also stressed that after they study the details, final decision on suing Turkey for using Golden Apricot brand will be made.
