Two Jivans in Istanbul? Duduk master invited to Turkey

Famous Armenian duduk player Jivan Gasparyan has been invited to participate in a peace concert to be held in Istanbul in September, Mr Gasparyan told a press conference.

"I will have to think about it whether or not to participate in it; I will consult my friends," said he adding that as a renowned musician and an Armenian national he must be careful in issues like this.

Musicians from other parts of the world are set to take part in it.

Mr Gasparyan further said he would perform with his namesake grandchild Jivan Gasparyan, should he decide to attend this concert.

Another participant of the press conference, Arsen Grigoryan, known as Mrro, said that despite the title of the concert "Turkey and Turks do not change, they remain the same."

"It is their cloths that change. Don't believe that they can be peace lovers," said he, adding that Turkey is always pursuing a direct or indirect benefit in all its steps.
