The political strategy of the official Baku on the social-cultural
life of the state seems to have some marasmic coloring.

Azeri mass media reports that the concerts of famous Georgian singer
Nino Katamadze scheduled on 30-31 May in Baku might be postponed. The
reasons of postponing the singer’s concerts are quite funny and
some unusual. The Azeri journalists have found a song by Katamadze
devoted to Armenia – "Oley", where the singer says "Yerevan". So
called investigative journalists found out that the singer performed
in Armenia in the frames of Jazz festival in Yerevan and devoted a
song to the city. For them, the Azeri, this is a serious barrier to
postpone the concert.

After the state philharmonic orchestra of Azerbaijan has been informed,
they started a serious investigation saying if the news is true the
concerts should be postponed.
