BAKU, Azerbaijan, July 24. The video with the
song Karabakh, appropriated by Armenian singer Gor Yepremyan and
belonging to Azerbaijani composer Bahram Nasibov, has been removed
from YouTube and other music platforms, the joint report of the
Ministry of Culture and the Intellectual Property Agency of the
Republic of Azerbaijan said, Trend reports.
“As previously reported in the media in recent days, the lyrics
of the song Karabakh (Karabakh is the cradle of all dreams), the
words and music of which belong to Azerbaijani composer Bahram
Nasibov, were changed by Gor Yepremyan and posted in his
performance on the YouTube platform under the name "Sirun Jan" with
the label "Armenian Folk," i.e., "Armenian Folk music".
In this regard, an extensive commentary by the Intellectual
Property Agency was published on July 9, 2024; a joint statement by
the Ministry of Culture and the Agency on July 10; and a joint
information on July 12.
The preliminary result of the measures taken was that the video
“Sirun Jan," posted on Gor Yepremian's official YouTube page (the
original source of the offense), was removed by the management of
YouTube due to copyright infringement, and appropriate work was
done to remove this video from digital music platforms (“YouTube
Music”,“Spotify”,“Apple Music”,“Amazon Music”,“Deezer”, etc.)
by the distribution company“CD BABY”.
As a result of the work done, we declare that with the support
of the Agency on behalf of Adil Nasibov, the heir of composer
Bahram Nasibov, and the and the technical support of the Public
Association“Digital and Audiovisual Broadcasting Industry”
( az/), accredited by the Agency, based on an appeal
to the YouTube administration in connection with the infringement
of Nasibov's copyright, the above-mentioned video with the song
performance by Gor Yepremyan was removed from the YouTube platform,
and by the distribution company CD BABY, from YouTube Music,
Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music, Deezer, and other digital music
platforms.
To note, since the music of the song“Aghji Jan,” performed by
Arut Pambukchyan, coincides with the song Karabakh (Karabakh is the
cradle of all dreams) by Azerbaijani composer Nasibov, it was
removed from the YouTube platform.
Therefore, the fact that the words and music of the song
Karabakh (Karabakh is the cradle of all dreams) belong to
Azerbaijani composer Bahram Nasibov and his copyright was violated
by Armenian performer Gor Yepremyan was confirmed by the management
of YouTube and other digital music platforms such as YouTube Music,
Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music, and Deezer, and the violated
rights of the composer were restored,” the report says.
