    Photos of Aynishan Guliyeva (pictured, second from left, second
    row), Azerbaijan's contestant in the 20th International Performers
    Contest at the Slavianski Bazaar alongside Armenia's contestant Narek
    Makaryan (pictured, in purple tie) resulted in a wave of discontent
    by internet users.

    According to Aze.az, Guliyeva was forced to remove Makaryan from
    her list of Facebook friends. Guliyeva's mother, Aybaniz Gashimova,
    who accompanied her daughter to the song contest in Vitebsk, tried
    to justify and explain how it came to be that her daughter was in a
    photo with an Armenian.

    "This Armenian boy expressed his love for Azerbaijan; the organizers
    were constantly putting him next to Aynishan. We are a peace-loving
    people; we couldn't drive him away from us - the participants and
    guests of the festival saw everything. That Aynishan was photographed
    with an Armenian doesn't mean we have forgotten our martyrs. No! Our
    family has experienced great sorrow, but we have shown peacefulness.

    We could not push him away or be rude and thus disgrace our country,"
    said Gashimova, reports Aze.az.
