Yet another display of Armenophobia takes place in Azerbaijan. Tair Imanov, the head of the theatre “The Planet of a Guy from Baku” urges to cancel the concert of the project Comedy Woman in Baku because its founders and some of its troupe members are Armenians, Azerbaijani media outlet Oxu.az reports.

Imanov expressed this claim on behalf of the whole staff of the theatre and stressed that the concert should be cancelled as Comedy Woman is ‘an Armenian project, is managed by the Armenians’ and the whole money issued to the project would go, as he put it, into the pockets of the leadership – ‘into the Armenians’ pockets.’

“No matter whether you want it or not, every Armenian who works abroad sends money to their homeland,” Imanov highlighted. Citing Azerbaijani president Ilham Aliyev, he claimed that no joint project should be carried out with the Armenians until Karabakh conflict is settled. He also reminded that some years ago ‘ethnic Armenians, such as Irina Allegrova’ had been brought to Azerbaijan while Allegrova’s repertoire includes the song My Armenia.
