Singer Suzanna Melkonyan, who won the Voice of Turan international song contest a few days ago,facebookresponded to criticisms with a post, in particular: "and why should our singer be there, it is a very, very wrong policy to participate in such contests".
"This was my competition field, where I was able to win and wave the TRIANGLE.
Specially for "smart people", this was an international song contest, where 19 countries participated. All of them sang works in Kazakh, I sang a beautiful song of pop genre called "Homeland". By the way, the author of the song was the chairman of the jury, who handed me the award.
This was EXCLUSIVELY an art and song contest and there is no context and cannot be, because professional specialists were working. Thank you for the adequate and correct assessment. As always, this time I represented Armenia with honor in the framework of singing and I am returning victorious." Suzanna Melkonyan wrote. The international song contest "Voice of Turan" was held in the city of Turkestan, Republic of Kazakhstan.
