Ayrapetian said Pugacheva will visit Nagorno Karabakh within the framework of her tour on the 60th jubilee.
â€œWe will spend enough money on this ceremony. We may have built a maternity hospital with this money. But all this aims to create holiday atmosphere and promote Karabakh as an already existing state,â€ he said.

Ayrapetian noted that the date of the ceremony is not known.
â€œEverything depends on Alla Pugachevaâ€™s arrival. Very likely it will take place in September,â€ he said.

Alla Pugacheva plans to give a concert in Heydar Aliyev Palace on September 4. The concert is organized by Culture and Tourism Ministry. Spokesperson for the ministry Zohra Aliyeva told APA that she hopes the reports are not true.
â€œWe are unaware of these reports. We do not believe that they are true. Maybe Armenians heard that Alla Pugacheva will give a concert in Baku and spread false information to prevent it. They want to cause confusion in Azerbaijani society. They try to impede this project. I do not think that All Pugacheva can do it. She has always loved Baku and wants to give a concert here. Alla Pugacheva is a wise and well-educated woman,â€ she said.
