Organizer of the concert of the world-famous Spanish opera singer
Montserrat Caballé in Yerevan, Vahagn Gevorgyan, has denied
information about the singer's planned concert in the occupied
Azerbaijani territories, Novosti-Armenia news agency reported.
Earlier, a source at the National Academic Theater of Opera and Ballet
told the agency that the concerts of Caballé and Youth Orchestra of
Armenia will be held in Yerevan and Khankendi, the center of the
self-proclaimed Nagorno-Karabakh republic run by ethnic Armenians in
the occupied Azerbaijani territories. Other Armenian media outlets
also disseminated this information.
"As an organizer, I assert that the information about Caballé's
concert in Nagorno Karabakh is not true," Gevorgyan said.
Caballé's concert in Yerevan will take place at the National Academic
Theater of Opera and Ballet on June 9.
Caballé, singer of bel canto style, became well-known by performing
classics - Rossini, Bellini and Donizetti. Caballé became famous in
1965 when Marilyn Horne listened to Lucrezia Borgia opera by Gaetano
Donizetti in her performance.
The conflict between the two South Caucasus countries began in 1988
when Armenia made territorial claims against Azerbaijan. Armenian
armed forces have occupied 20 per cent of Azerbaijan since 1992,
including the Nagorno-Karabakh region and seven surrounding districts.
Azerbaijan and Armenia signed a ceasefire agreement in 1994. The
co-chairs of the OSCE Minsk Group, Russia, France and the U.S. are
currently holding peace negotiations.
Armenia has not yet implemented the U.N. Security Council's four
resolutions on the liberation of Nagorno-Karabakh and the surrounding
regions.
