Azerbaijani radio has undergone obstruction because of airing Armenian songs
National Council on Television and Radio of Azerbaijan (NCTR) claimed the leadership of the ANS FM radio station for constant propaganda of Armenian songs within the frameworks of the music program "Caucasus Top 20", reported NCTR Chairman Nushiravan Magerramli to Azerbaijani news agency "APA."
According to Magerramli, the NCTR employee was requested to contact with the leadership of ANS FM in connection with the airing of Armenian songs: "I requested to clarify this issue, and such a broadcast was not allowed, as it plays on people's feelings. Unfortunately, the response of the ANS FM leadership given to the employee of NCTR, causes regret."
Magerramli stated that Armenia and Azerbaijan are in war, and they should be very careful in these issues.
"The logic of the leadership of ANS FM "Culture has no borders" is incorrect. By this logic, we should perform Armenian movies in Azerbaijan, sell Armenian goods, hold exhibitions of their artists," stated Magerramli.
According to the Azerbaijani news portal "Minval.az", according to Tavakkyula Dadasheva, the head of the Examination, Programming and Monitoring Division of the NCTR, in connection with the broadcast of Armenian songs on the ANS FM a reference letter was sent to the leadership.
"A reference letter was prepared and directed to the leadership, stating that the ANS FM broadcasts Armenian songs and the anchorperson publicly announces this. Measures will be undertaken in accordance with the law," stated Dadashev.
