Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry is examining the information regarding the upcoming concert of opera singer Montserrat Caballé in the occupied Azerbaijani territories, Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry spokesman Elman Abdullayev told Trend on Wednesday. Famous opera singer Montserrat Caballé will perform at the State Youth Philharmonic Orchestra of Armenia in Khankendi on June 4, Armenian media outlets reported.
The conflict between the two South Caucasus countries began in 1988 when Armenia made territorial claims against Azerbaijan. Armenian armed forces have occupied 20 per cent of Azerbaijan since 1992, including the Nagorno-Karabakh region and seven surrounding districts.
Azerbaijan and Armenia signed a ceasefire agreement in 1994. The co-chairs of the OSCE Minsk Group, Russia, France and the U.S. are currently holding peace negotiations.
Armenia has not yet implemented the U.N. Security Council’s four resolutions on the liberation of the Nagorno-Karabakh and the surrounding regions.
Caballé, singer of bel canto style, became well-known by performing classics – Rossini, Bellini and Donizetti. Caballé became famous in 1965 when Marilyn Horne listened to Lucrezia Borgia opera by Gaetano Donizetti in her performance.
