Iranian singer of Azerbaijani descent refuses to perform in Baku citing a concert in Armenia?

PanARMENIAN.Net - Recently, Azeri media was stirred by the refusal of Iranian singer of Azerbaijani descent Googoosh (Faeqah Atashin) to perform in Azerbaijan, citing her intention to give a concert in Armenia as the reason.

According to media reports, the Armenian boyfriend of the singer, who has a number of Armenian songs in her repertoire, objected to her tour to Azerbaijan.

No information about the oncoming concert of the singer is available in Armenia.

Googoosh (born 5 May 1950 in Tehran) is an Iranian pop singer and former actress. In the 1960s and 70, she was more widely known as a singer than as a Persian film actress. At that time, Googoosh was considered the most celebrated recording artist in Iran and much of Central Asia. After the Iranian Revolution in 1979, she is famously known for remaining in Iran until 2000 and not performing again due to the ban on female singers.
