/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Eurovision passions are still raging. Azeri media
is circulating rumors that Inga & Anush Arshakyans’ song composed by
Mane Hakobyan is "copied off from Tofik Kuliyev’s ‘Nakhijevani’ song."
"Jan Jan song is Armenian. It’s ridiculous to bring arguments," said
musicologist Alina Pahlevanyan said when commenting to PanARMENIAN.Net
on accusations of plagiarism.
Composer Martin Vardazaryan said he was personally acquainted with
Tofik Kuliyev.
"I am sure Kuliyev would not like such accusations. The song Arshakyan
sisters presented at Eurovision is based on eastern rhymes, with
dominating Armenian tunes," maestro Vardazaryan said.
