Vahram Petrosyan should create songs in Azerbaijan
“Vahram Petrosyan is an imposter composer who states that the Azerbaijani music is in his nature, Sayat-Nova is Azeri and as if the Armenian girls are belly dancers by their nature. Perhaps his mother dances a belly dance at home, if he says so,” said political scientist Hrant Melik-Shahnazaryan at the meeting with the journalists.
He mentioned that these "Petrosyan style" statements in Armenian reality have found a negative response while the Azerbaijani press writes these statements in great letters.
The political scientist is surprised that such people are allowed to create in Armenia and implement such kind of propaganda.
“War is not only a shooting at each other by weapons, it also includes cultural propaganda. They are trying to weaken the vigilance of the Armenian public by such ignorant people, it is a hit. Society should be more vigilant,” H. Melik-Shahnazaryan said.
He added that if Petrosian is Azerbaijani in his nature then, “Let him go and create in Azerbaijan”.
An expert in information security Vahram Mirakyan who was present at the meeting noticed that there are several groups that realize the Azerbaijani lobby, one gets the money, the other realizes the propaganda and one is “a group of ignorant people in which included also Vahram Petrosyan.”
“There exists Eastern culture, but we have got the offal of that culture. Now there is a kind of automatic mechanism established for developing the anti-culture. The anti-cultural things develop more than the national music," V. Mirakyan said.
