DANCE ON ARMENIAN FLAG COULD SEND BRITISH DANCER TO JAIL
Yerevan, February 1. ArmInfo. The Ministry of Culture and Youth of
Armenia has forbidden the second performance of British dancer Nagel
Charnock after his hot dance on Armenian flag.
Deputy Culture and Youth Minister Karine Khodikyan says that his dance
was violation of the law on state flag which says that a person
showing disrespect for state symbols should be sentensed to 2 years of
correctional work and 1 year in jail.
Khodikyan is skeptical about the explanation of the British Embassy
that Charnock's actions were not premeditated insult. She says that
Charnock had bought the flag beforehand so it was not an
improvisation. Khodikyan says that even though private theater
companeis have right to provide their halls for concerts, she doubts
that Charnock will appear on stage today - even though the organizer
of the scandalous show, British Council, says he will.
