RUSSIAN SINGER PHILIP KIRKOROV TO VISIT ARMENIAN GENOCIDE MEMORIAL IN
REMORSE FOR HIS FORMER MISTAKES
YEREVAN, MARCH 29. ARMINFO. Russian pop star Philip Kirkorov is going
to visit the Armenian Genocide Memorail and Museum during their
forthcoming tour in Yerevan, says Temine Ayrumyan, spokesperson of the
Manukyan company who invited Kirkorov to Armenia.
Ayrumyan says that Kyrkorov is feeling remorse and is going to
apologize for his earlier mistakes against Armeians, a nation he also
belongs to.
Meanwhile many Armenian pop singers and some 30 youth organizations
are protesting against the tour of Kirkorov mostly because of his
pro-Turkish repertory (remakes of Turkish pop star Tarkan) and public
insult of Armenian journalist Irina Aroyan, an action that generated
wide public disapproval in Russia leading to his oust from the Russian
show business.
Ayrumyan claims that she daily receives 350 calls in Kirkorov’s
support. “We expected such attitude but could not help inviting g him
as he is the best,” she says. Meanwhile only 30% of the tickets have
been sold to date. The tickets for his Dzoraberd restaurant concert
range from $80 to $150 and for the Concert Complex one from 3,000 AMD
to 15,000 AMD ($6-30).
