MP, People's Artist Zeyneb Khanlarova said this during her talk with journalists.

"I do not consider show business right nowadays. One should not forget of his nation, customs and traditions. I am in the art for 45 years; I have always kept the traditions of my nation. Visitors from foreign countries coming Baku have mentioned my name - Zeynab Khanlarova, not in vain. I have deserved it."

Mrs.Khanlarova said that all the singers have videoclips but her: "I was famous not by clips. I came onto the stage with ghazals of Fuzuli. Neither my father nor my mother has taught it to me. I have known that Fuzuli is a great poet, and if do not lean it I can not be a good singer. Nowadays singers do not know Fuzuli. I have sung songs in 32 languages, but never thought of learning traditions of those peoples."

Mrs. Khanlarova added that she likes Zulfiyye Khanbabayeva's songs who sings in variety- show.

Mrs. Khanlarova said that she is dissatisfied with rules giving names to artists: "Nowadays the title is purchased. You can not be people’s artist with money."
