    AZERBAIJANIS DEMAND THAT TURKISH SINGER ASK PERMISSION FROM THEM TO SING ARMENIAN SONG

    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.
