The famous Armenian commander - one of the key figures of the Armenian
national liberation movement of the late 19th- early 20th centuries -
Andranik Ozanian's photos were emblazoned on the signboard at the
entrance of the restaurant Montinburg in Baku, as well as in the
pub Starapraga at the same address. The manager and the employees of
the food outlets unanimously claim they had no idea that the photo
depicted the Armenian commander as they had confused him with Petr
Montin, the founder of the first distillery in Azerbaijan. Soon the
police arrived at the site and confiscated all the photos depicting
Andranik Ozanian, Azerbaijani media report.
Azerbaijani media outlet 1news.az writes that the Azerbaijani
journalist Vugar Seidov had just the other day posted a photo of a
Baku pub on his Facebook profile. The Armenian commander Andranik
Ozanian's photo was emblazoned on the lantern at the entrance of the
pub. As it turned out, the photo was depicted not only on the lanterns
at the entrance of the pub but also inside the restaurant itself.
According to the article, the restaurant manager, introducing himself
as Ramin, said the photo was already in the restaurant when they
bought it from the previous owners. The manager added that it was
written under the photo that it was Petr Montin hence the reason they
did not change it.
The Azerbaijani media outlet Vesti.az adds that in response to their
correspondent's astonished question "Well, whom have you hanged at
your entrance?" the waiter of the Azerbaijani restaurant answered
also astonished that he saw nothing strange as it was not Andranik's
photo but Montin's.
Soon the Interior Ministry of Azerbaijan's officials arrived at
the site and demanded that the food outlet urgently changed the
signboards. As a result, the employees immediately removed Andranik
Ozanian's photo from the restaurant signboard that had been hanging
there for almost two years.
