Conductor insulting Narek Hakhnazaryan demanded to resign (video)

The head of the State Symphony Orchestra of Russia, Mark Gorenstein, who had offended Armenian musician Narek Hakhnazaryan, is demanded to leave his position.

According to reports, a group of musicians sent a letter to Russia’s Ministry of Culture, demanding his resignation.

Gorenstein said in an interview with the Russian Echo Moskvy that the letter to the ministry is a provocation.

“This step is in the interest of someone at the ministry,” said he. “And the musicians are a tool to achieve that goal.”

Gorenstein did not give the names of those musicians who allegedly sent a letter to the ministry.

Gorenstein had during a rehearsal insulted Narek Hakhnazaryan, but apologized afterwards.
