    AZERBAIJANI AND GEORGIAN WEBSITES APPROPRIATE CREATIONS OF ARMENIAN AUTHORS

    YEREVAN

    YEREVAN, NOVEMBER 24, ARMENPRESS: Azerbaijani, Georgian and some
    Armenian websites, operating abroad, appropriated the 'Emotions' CD by
    Karen Grigoryan, composer. 14 songs, performed by Armenian singers,
    were involved in the CD. In the appropriated version 2-3 Armenian
    songs were removed from the CD in order to hide the Armenian origin.

    The right order of songs was not preserved as well.

    Karen Grigoryan said today at a meeting with journalists that in the
    Georgian version the information was valid and that they even placed
    some information, which is not included in the CD.

    'The most offensive thing was that the Azerbaijani websites presented
    me as an Azerbaijani musician with an Azerbaijani name. I am Armenian
    and I am proud of my nationality,' Karen Grigoryan said. He added that
    he wrote a letter and 'the pirates' responded that 'the composer is
    neither the first person, nor the last one and they will go on acting
    the way they did'.

    Karine Petrosyan, representative of 'Hayheghinak' NGO, said that the
    rights of the composer toward his personal creations are reserved.

    'The first production is made by the composer, but when the creations
    become a public property, the composer cannot undertake any step
    alone,' she said. She added that 'Hayheghinak' is not able to help the
    author abroad. 'We cannot regulate the situation even in Armenia. How
    can we do it in Azerbaijan?' she added.

    Samvel Amirabyan, head of the 'Armenian Music Centre', said that
    within a year they managed to close over 70 websites, operating in
    various states of the world.

    Aram Voskanyan, deputy chairman of the UN's Armenian Association,
    spoke on the program of media literacy. 'The best means of struggling
    against copyright violations is to secure the society with media
    literacy. There is no any other state in the world, which has solved
    such issues fully; however there are mechanisms, which appeared to
    be successful. Such mechanisms are applied in European countries,'
    he said.
