Why are so many Azerbaijani songs and melodies being used by our neighbors without crediting the original Azerbaijani composers or performers?
Why Is the Uncredited Use of Azerbaijani Music So Normalized in Armenia?
This is just for fun and healthy conversation—please, no hateful comments. I genuinely want to hear different perspectives.
Why are so many Azerbaijani songs and melodies being used by our neighbors without crediting the original Azerbaijani composers or performers? What interests me even more is why this seems to be so easily accepted by parts of Armenian society, rather than being recognized as a problem of cultural appropriation or plagiarism.
I’m not trying to attack ordinary Armenian people. I’m asking a cultural question: How did we reach a point where using someone else’s music without acknowledging its origin can be treated as completely normal? I’d genuinely like to understand how Armenians themselves view this.
