  Eurovision passions still raging, Baku claims songs nowMay 20, 2009 - 16:16 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - Eurovision passions are still raging. Azeri media is circulating rumors that Inga & Anush Arshakyans' song composed by Mane Hakobyan is "copied off from Tofik Kuliyev's 'Nakhijevani' song." "Jan Jan song is Armenian. It's ridiculous to bring arguments," said musicologist Alina Pahlevanyan said when commenting to PanARMENIAN.Net on accusations of plagiarism. Composer Martin Vardazaryan said he was personally acquainted with Tofik Kuliyev. "I am sure Kuliyev would not like such accusations. The song Arshakyan sisters presented at Eurovision is based on eastern rhymes, with dominating Armenian tunes," maestro Vardazaryan said.
