    AZERBAIJAN SUBMITS LIST OF SONGS STOLEN BY ARMENIANS TO UN

    Trend News Agency, Azerbaijan
    May 2 2008

    Azerbaijan, Baku, 2 May / Trend News corr. G.Jabiyev / Abutalib
    Samadov, Director of the Azerbaijani State Agency on the author rights,
    stated that the Agency has developed the list of stolen Azerbaijani
    music and submitted the document to the UN World Intellectual Property
    Organization (WIPO)

    Azerbaijan joined Bern convention on 'Protection of art and literature
    compositions', as well as Roma Conference on 'Protection of rights of
    singers, phonogram producers and broadcasting organizations'. Armenia
    also joined the aforesaid organizations. Under the conventions, each
    country-member must protect rights of other country citizens. This
    principle of protection of rights is called national regime.

    Armenians succeeded opening of the sound-recording studio Ani-Records,
    which has been operating in the Russian Federation for many years
    and presents Azerbaijani music as Armenians.

    Samadov stated that the judiciary bodies are responsible for providing
    of protection of rights under the international legislation. It means
    that in the case of violation of owner rights within the country then
    the person whose rights were violated could make a court appeal to
    local courts. However, the owner whose author rights were violated
    on the international level then he should make court appeal to
    courts of the country which violated his rights. Unfortunately,
    Azerbaijanis are deprived of the possibility to make court appeal
    to Armenian courts because of the Armenian-Azerbaijani conflict
    over Nagorno-Karabakh. Armenia misappropriates this opportunity and
    steals material and moral values of Azerbaijan and presents them as
    Armenians. Samadov stated that he has appealed to the UN in order
    to inject changes in the international legislation and expressed
    confidence that the organization would consider the issue.

    Samadov stated that the document developed by the Agency include the
    name of songs and composers stolen by Armenians and submitted it to
    WIPO. They are 'Sanada galmaz' by Tofig Guliyev, 'Ay giz' by Jahangir
    Jahangirov, 'Sachlaraina gul duzum' by Rauf Hajiyev, 'Na galmaz oldun'
    by Alakpar Tagiyev, 'Geja zanglari' by Eldar Mansurov, Maktab illari'
    by Aygun Samadzade, as well as popular dances 'Vokaliz' and folks -
    'Vagzali', 'Yalli', 'Uzun dara', 'Mirzei', 'Gazagi"Tarakama', 'Sari
    galin', 'Khan bagi', 'Dali jeyran', and operas by Uzeir Hajibayov
    'Arshin mal alan', 'O olmasin bu olsun' and 'Koroglu'.
