Armenian singer from Istanbul Sibil Bektorosoglu is eager to sing
the Armenian song "To see Ani and die."

Sibil Bektorosoglu, who released an album in the Armenian language
for the first time in Turkey, noted that the video showing on Turkish
TRT channel was a great happiness. "I will do everything to preserve
the Armenian language, belonging to this land. My dream is to perform
"To see Ani and die" on the ruins of Ani," she said in an interview
with the Turkish Sabah newspaper.

"When opening of borders was on the agenda, we intended to go to Kars,
but the border did not open," she noted.

The Armenian singer stressed after the first album in the Armenian
language, much has changed. According to her, earlier Armenian-language
music albums were imported from Armenia and the U.S.

"Now, Armenian albums are exported to those countries. Armenians are
very surprised that I was able to release such an album. Be the first
is a colorful event," Sibil Bektorosoglu said.
