Armenian pianist annuls his Hungarian concert

Armenian pianist Hayk Melikyan annulled his European fall tour after extradition of murderer of Armenian officer Ramil Safarov to Azerbaijan.

The first concert was scheduled in Budapest. In his statement released today, the pianist said he is offended with the recent degrading step of Hungary and cannot frankly and fully display his emotions during the concert.

The concert was due to take place in Moholy-Nagy concert hall on October 23. The program included works of Hungarian and Armenian composers.

The second concert was to take place in November in Yerevan within the framework of “1900+” Yerevan concert tour and included Hungarian music only. The concert’s program will be changed.
