Baku. Ulkar Gasimova – APA. Azerbaijani public was shocked by
the recent interview of Hadise Acikgoz, Turkey’s representative
in Eurovision-2009, who gave a concert in Baku two months ago,
APA reports.

Hadise said in her interview to Show TV that she supports reopening of
Turkey-Armenia borders and wants to be a "Truce angel" to realize it.

"Armenia and Turkey are brotherly countries, the borders between
the two countries should reopen. I am ready to be a "truce angel"
for this. I have talked to Inga and Anush, they also want to come to
Turkey and give a concert here. Their wish should be realized. Let
the initiator of this truce be music. If Inga and Anush agree, we
will give a concert on October 14," she said.

In Eurovision-2009 in Moscow Hadise said she loved Inga and Anush
and introduced them to the journalists as the "most beautiful girls"
of the contest.

It seems Hadise forgot that Armenia occupied Azerbaijani territories,
committed the most terrible genocide of the century in Khojaly,
killed thousands of civilians, killed 34 Turkish diplomats abroad in
1973-1984, raised the so-called genocide and territorial claims against
Turkey. It seems she also forgot Azerbaijan’s support in Eurovision
and 12 points. With this interview she also demonstrated her "respect"
to Azerbaijani people. Two months ago in Baku Hadise said she loves
Azerbaijani people and is grateful to the Azerbaijanis for her success
in Eurovision. So, these were only words.

Nahid Emiloglu, who organized Hadise’s concert in Azerbaijan, told
APA that he will not organize Hadise’s concert in Baku any more.

"Hadise promised to give a concert, but we refuse to organize this
concert. On my behalf I state that we will not organize Hadise’s
concert in Baku any more," he said.

Hadise appealed to Turkish government and the country’s Football
Federation. She said she wants to give a concert with Inga and Anush
before the football match between Turkey and Armenia in Bursa on
October 14.
