    BAKU, DECEMBER 26, ARMENPRESS: Azerbaijani authorities denied an
    entrance visa to a Turkish citizen of Armenian origin who arrived
    in Baku together with a famous Turkish musical group, led by Sertab
    Ereneri.

    The Armenian, Burak Petikian, a pianist of the group, was forced
    aboard the same Turkish airplane that brought him to Azerbaijani
    capital and flew back to Istanbul.

    Petikian was quoted by the Turkish daily Hurriyet as saying that
    the incident at Baku airport was 'an overt display of racism, a move
    that humiliated also Turkey ' Petikian sent a letter of complaint to
    Turkish foreign ministry.
