  Avraam Russo: let them ban my entry to Baku, I will go to Artsakh anyway March 5, 2011 - 16:07 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - Popular singer of Armenian origin Avraam Russo said that he will go to Artsakh, even if he is denied entry to Azerbaijan or any country for thousands of times. I would be happy to give a concert in Artsakh, Russo told a press conference in Yerevan, commenting on the fact that those artists who visit Artsakh are declared persona-non-grata in Baku. He went on saying: “It is my nation, how can I reject a concert for them?” However, according to Russo, he has not received similar offers yet. “I am proud to be an Armenian. Possibly, I am the only famous singer of those living abroad, who freely speaks Armenian,” he said. Commenting on the fact that Turkey does not recognize the Armenian Genocide, the singer said Ankara reacts badly to the matter, as the Armenian Genocide demonstrates the barbaric nature of Turks. However, Russo added that everything will change in Ankara, as soon as the U.S. loses its interest in Turkey. “Everyone should accept the reality,” he concluded.
