Azerbaijan: Music by Armenian composer banned in Baku
In: Uncategorized/By: Media monitoring//
Organisers of the forthcoming European Rhythmic Gymnastics
Championships, which is held in Azerbaijan's capital Baku, have asked
the Belarusian team to refrain from playing music by Armenian composer
Aram Khachaturian, head coach of the Belarusian team Irina Laperskaya
told a press conference in Minsk.
The Azerbaijani authorities have long banned Armenian nationals and
ethnic Armenian citizens of third countries, including Turkey, from
travelling to Azerbaijan. They consider any Armenian presence in the
country an affront to its honour and the memory of Azerbaijanis killed
in the unresolved conflict over Nagorno-Karabakh.
