Armenian youths take action against Kirkorov
Yerkir/arm
25 March 05
About 30 youth and student organizations of Armenia sent a letter on
Thursday to the organizers of the concert featuring Russian singer
Philip Kirkorov with a demand to cancel it.
The action was initiated by the Armenian Revolutionary Federation’s
(ARF), Nikol Aghbalian Student and Youth Unions. The authors of the
letter point to Kirkorov’s anti-Armenian and pro-Turkish positions,
reminding also that Kirkorov has recently swore an ethnic-Armenian
reporter in public, stressing her Armenian origin.
The action organizers say that inviting a singer who promotes Turkish
music to Armenia on the eve of the Armenian Genocide’s 90th
anniversary is a disgrace and should not be permitted.
They also warned that in case the concerts are not cancelled the youth
organizations would resort to actions aimed at disrupting them.
