YEREVAN (YERKIR) - Russian singer Philip Kirkorov has cancelled his
upcoming concerts in Armenia, according to reliable sources.
The move followed strong protests staged by over 30 Armenian youth
organizations against the singer, who despite his Armenian origin, is
knownfor his affection for Turkish music. In past, Kirkorov had
performed wrapped in a Turkish flag, and last year, speaking at a news
conference in Russia, he insulted a reporter pointing to her Armenian
ethnicity.
