Azerbaijan ‘appropriates’ Armenian composer and his works

PanARMENIAN.Net - Author of variety music Karen Grigoryan said that he found his album “Emotion” uploaded on a number of Georgian and Azerbaijani websites.

Moreover, the Azerbaijanis cut off the songs in Armenian and lefts those in English, representing Grigoryan’s works as Azerbaijani.

According to Samvel Hovhannisyan, director of Armenian Music Centre, which holds the copyright of the album, it makes no sense to take the owners of the Azerbaijani websites to court, as there are no diplomatic relations between the two countries.

“Albums of Armenian performers illegally appear on the web two hours after their release,” Hovhannisyan said.
