The video of the wedding of an Armenian guy Artyom and an Azerbaijani girl Leyla in Moscow has appeared on the Internet. It has become a subject for discussion in social networks, there are also numerous comments under the youtube link. For example, one comment poster demanded the author Alvin Akhmedov to remove the video as it censures the Azerbaijani people. According to the opinion by one of the comment posters, the newlyweds are free from any displays of racism. One of them “gloated” that their son will serve in the Artsakh army. In an interview with Aravot.am, singer Mro (Arsen Grigoryan), who often goes to the border to raise the spirit of the soldiers, said that he has not seen the video, but his opinion is definite, “It is a shame and unacceptable phenomenon. The marriage with a foreigner is totally unacceptable for me, not to speak about with an Azerbaijani. Especially, during these times that we need to become strong and more. The marriage with Azerbaijani, so to say in Armenian, is a “catastrophe”, a calamity. It cannot be said that he loved and married, there is no such thing in the world, we have no right to make this kind of move.”
