EurasiaNet: Nagorno Karabakh is also happy in Pharrell Williams’ style
Nagorno Karabakh has become the latest place to produce a version of Pharrell Williams’ “Happy” video, the fad which has gotten much of the world “clapping along,” the article published on the American site EurasiaNet.
“We Are Happy from Karabakh,” is sponsored by the Los-Angeles-based Armenia Fund. British Baroness Caroline Cox, one of the most prominent supporters of Nagorno Karabakh, is featured in the video. She is featured together with the staff and patients at a clinic in the NKR capital, Stepanakert.
Regarding the fact that the Nagorno Karabakh conflict is not settled for more than 20 years, the propaganda value of that message is clear, EurasiaNet reports.
Before Karabakh joined the “Happy” craze, the two countries warring over the territory – Armenia and Azerbaijan – had made their own versions of Williams’ hit, too. In “Happy Yerevan,” produced by the US Alumni Association of Armenia, US Ambassador to Armenia John Heffern is featured too, the article notes.
Azerbaijan, which claims ownership of Karabakh, has come out with severa lversions, staged in the capital, Baku, and the industrial town of Sumgayit.
According to the article there is even a “Happy & Unhappy Baku” version that takes a swipe at the contrast between the celebrities featured in Azerbaijan's best-known "Happy" video and those individuals allegedly doing time in Azerbaijani prisons for differing with the government.
