Artsakh (Nagorno-Karabakh Republic) has never had any complexity with a person of any nationality. We don’t hate the Azerbaijani people because we are not fighting against the people of Azerbaijan. This is what Deputy Chief of Staff of the President of Artsakh, Head of the Central Information Department Davit Babayan said, responding to Armenian News-NEWS.am’s request to comment on the desire of Mehriban Aliyeva (wife of the President of Azerbaijan) to listen to Mugham in Karabakh and the response of wife of the Prime Minister of Armenia Anna Hakobyan.

“Generally speaking, I don’t think it’s normal to fight against women and children and kill them only on the ground of the nation, race and religion. For this reason, if Mehriban-khanum arrives in our country, the neighboring country of Azerbaijan as a guest or as a representative of Azerbaijan on an official visit, we will always be happy for any visit of any representative of any state and for any guest, but again, as an equal partner or tourist or guest. If she would like to come as a guest or as the head of a delegation after mutual recognition of each other’s countries, please.

As a matter of fact, tourists in Artsakh can visit clubs, listen to jazz and opera music and turn on Mugham music for the Muslim world and for Azerbaijan after the relations are normalized. This is the technical aspect. Travel agencies can take guests’ tastes into consideration and provide appropriate services,” Davit Babayan stated.
