There are only two versions of the film that were released theatrically. The "director's cut", a.k.a. the Armenian version, which is 78 minutes long (though there may be variations due to PAL/NTSC conversion). The Soviet censored "Yutkevitch cut", a.k.a. the Soviet version, is 73 minutes long.
Until 1988 the director's cut was only allowed to be shown inside Armenia, while the Soviet version was released elsewhere in the Soviet Union, but withdrawn after 2 months.
The Soviet version is 5 minutes shorter than the director's cut due to (mostly religious) censorship. It also replaced the Armenian titles with Russian translations in cyrillic.
Sergei Yutkevitch cut directly into the negative. This means, that although shorter, the image and sound is much better than the director's cut, of which no negative exists.
The director's cut, before being censored by Goskino in Moscow, was already censored by Armenfilm in Armenia. There exists a version in the Armenfilm archives which is longer than the director's cut, but which has never been shown theatrically. This may be the 20 minutes cut that the TCU presentor referred to.
Roughly four hours of outtakes were shown on Italian television and have been subsequently circulating online.
