The famous actor George Clooney started his speech at the second Global Forum Against the Crime of Genocide in Yerevan with a statement that today's television forms insensitive audience because of improper coverage of global issues.

" Nowadays 24 -hour news release forms insensitive audience . When one hears 6 million refugees, it becomes simply a matter of numbers. When a media shows a picture of a dead little boy, thrown to the shore by the waves, it becomes a key issue " ,said Clooney .

According to him the way people react to the crisis of refugees is horrible. "We lose our humanitarian vision when we watch stories with large numbers. The media should not talk about large numbers, but about a story of a person, because if one looks in that person’s eyes, everything would change. The filmmaking should work in that direction. One turns on CNN and sees an empty podium: everyone is waiting for Donald Trump to speak. Why can’t we use this time to show a family who is struggling to run from Aleppo? They do not run from their country to stay somewhere else. They run to save their lives" said the actor. George Clooney expressed a hope that the TV news programs will focus more on global issues than elections . The reason Amal Clooney did not come to Armenia.
