On November 3, 2023, during the broadcast of the "Natalia & Datuna" show on Georgia's "1TV.GE" television channel, a song, accompanied with the famous "Basqalı" dance, composed and performed by People's Artist of the Republic of Azerbaijan Aftandil Israfilov, was presented as part of the "Somkhuri shalakho" – "Armenian shalakho" composition, APA reports. 

These facts, demonstrated through various Georgian television channels, create the impression of another instance of Armenian theft in relation to Azerbaijan's cultural heritage, including Azerbaijani music, and caused serious concern.

Regarding the aforementioned issues, the Intellectual Property Agency of the Republic of Azerbaijan has sent a letter to the leadership of the Georgian National Intellectual Property Center "SAKPATENTI."
