YOUTH ORGANIZATIONS OF ARMENIA DEMAND TO CANCEL KIRKOROV CONCERT IN YEREVAN
Today Armenian youth organizations of Armenia send a complaint letter to the organizers of the concert of Philipp Kirkorov in Yerevan. The message authors called not to admit the concert. Grounding their demand they noted in their message the fact that Kirkorov adheres to an evident anti-Armenian and even Turkish-minded stand and lately publicly insulted an Armenian female journalist, having emphasized her background with contempt. The authors of the complaint consider inviting a singer propagating Turkish songs to Armenia on the eve of the 90-th anniversary of the Genocide an amoral step. The income expected from the concert is not commensurable with the moral values represented by the national and human dignity. Representatives of youth organizations noted that in case Kirkorov concert is not canceled, they reserve the right to resort to practical actions not to admit the concert.
