Azeri Press Agency, Azerbaijan
June 19 2007

We have not yet received reply of international organization – World
Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) to our appeal on removing
piracy of Fikrat Amirov’s "Kor arabin mahnisi" by Armenians. The time
allotted for investigation of the appeal will end in late June. If we
achieve no result, we will appeal again, Azerbaijan Copyright Agency
law department’s chief Khudayat Hasanli told the APA.

Hasanli saying that international organizations have not yet taken
measures regarding the piracy of Armenians stated that famous
Azerbaijani composer Fikrat Amirov’s "Kor arabin mahnisi" is not
only sacrifice.

"Armenians pirated our several national songs, for example, Brilliant
Dadashova’s "Vokaliz". International organizations have not yet taken
measures on it," he said.
