"The composition, performed by Armenian singer Sirusho is a rehash of Azerbaijani, Turkish and Persian national melodies, rather than an Armenian one", famous Azerbaijani composer Djavanshir Guliyev said, commenting on information about Armenia's plans to participate at Eurovision-2008 song contest with an Azerbaijani song.
He said it is not a direct plagiarism, which is an exact repetition of this or that song.
"Yes, at time we hear a modulation, similar to that in our "Sary Gelin". But on the whole, the song is a rehash of Azerbaijani, Turkish and Persian national melodies, which are the melodies of the countries, surrounding Armenia, but not Armenian melodies", he noted.
Asked, what Armenian music is, he said that Armenian music is that, which is played in the Armenian churches.
"As for the folk and dance music, Armenia never had it, as it had never existed as a state, before the creation of the Soviet Socialist Republic of Armenia".
He said before that Armenians had lived on the territories of various countries, including, in Azerbaijan, Turkey and Iran. Therefore, melodies, which Armenians try to set up for their national music, are nothing but a rehash of the melodies of the country of their past residence.
