Azerbaijani composer Gara Garayev introduced as Armenian in Encyclopedia Britannica and in Kiril Tomovâ€™s book

24 August 2007 10:12 (UTC +04:00)

Gara Garayev is written to be an Armenian in that book. Famous British Encyclopedia Britannica presented Gara Garayev as an Armenian composer and gave his biography.
Baku Music Academy president, Peopleâ€™s Artist Farhad Badalbayli said that all these were written by illiterate and inexpert people:â€ It shows how inexpert they are. Only inexpert person such people could write such shame. We must react to it roughlyâ€ he added.
Azerbaijan Composersâ€™ Union chairman, peopleâ€™s artist Firangiz Alizade said that is all about to set an alarm during the composerâ€™s 90th anniversary: â€œThey have bee pursuing this policy for a long time, and Russian encyclopedias write wrong things not only about Gara Garayev but also Karabakh. We have to interfere with, and interrupt it. There is amount of news about Gara Garayev. He was born in Baku, got education here then left for Moscow and came back again. He became a professor of Azerbaijan State Conservatorium and had hundreds of students. So there is no doubt left about his nationality,â€ she added.
F.Alizade voiced importance to struggle against such cases:â€ I have written an article on Gara Garayev in Germany encyclopedia â€œMusic history of modern worldâ€. This has already come out on the internet and published. There is a site on Gara Garayev. There is all information about G.Garayev in Azeri, English and Russian languages. I think that both Culture and Tourism Ministry and composerâ€™s son Faraj Garayev should reactâ€ she added./APA/
