YEREVAN, AUGUST 29, NOYAN TAPAN. At the request of one of its Russian partners, the Armenian IT company Bi Line has started production of 15 cartoons based on Russian fairy tales. Each cartoon will last 13 minutes. The president of Bi Line Hayk Khanjyan told NT correspondent that the production of the first cartoon has finished and the work on the second one is underway. According to him, a few years ago Bi Line released laser discs of cartoons based on three Armenian fairy tales - dubbed in various languages. "Unfortunately, we failed to sell them, and one reason is that Diasporan Armenians do not trust Armenian products, preferring foreign ones," Bi Line's president noted. He expressed confidence that animation multimedia production is one of the promising directions of the Armenian IT sector's development. It was mentioned that e-content demand is great now, and such production should exist in Armenia so that trust in the country will form through the sale of these products and foreigners will recognize the Armenian culture.
