BAKU, NOVEMBER 23, ARMENPRESS:A famous Turkish singer Bulent Ersoy questioned during a televised interview the origin of Azeris. Interviewed by Turkish NTV she said the origin of Azeris, who consider themselves to be a Turkic nation, remains vague even to scientists. She also said a famous song “Sari Gyalin’ which Azeris claim to be theirs, belongs, in fact, to Armenians. Azerbaijani Olaylar news agency said Ersoy’s remarks caused the anger of an actress Maral Konrat, a mayoral candidate in the town of Mejida in eastern Anatolia who accused Ersoy of insulting the Azeri people. She demanded that Ersoy apologizes to ‘gifted Azeri nation who are Turks.”
