Azerbaijan's musical circles have harshly criticized Turkish singer
Sezen Aksu, who included the Armenian folk song "The Bride of Mountain"
("Sari Gelin") in her new album.
The Azerbaijani copyright agency stated that Sezen Aksu must ask for
permission from them for the aforesaid song in Armenian, because the
assertion that the song is Armenian is incorrect, the Turkish Haber
24 News Agency informs.
To note, members of an Armenian choir are accompanying Aksu in
performing "The Bride of Mountain" in Armenian.
Sezen Aksu has numerous Armenian songs in her repertoire and she has
performed them on many stages. And two years ago, she was not allowed
to hold a concert in Azerbaijan, on the reasoning that there was an
Armenian musician in her band.
