Armenian Patriotic Songs Stolen by Turks

[SevSpitak]

I've seen a number of Armenian songs stolen by Turks, but the most disgusting ones are those that are patriotic songs, dedicated to those who died at the hands of Turks, or who fought against Turks against suppression.

This is the most disgusting I've ever seen. Imaging a group of Neo-Nazi Germans, stealing a Jewish song dedicated to the holocaust and turning it into a pop song to fill their wallets. It's sickening.

 

 

I recently came across this one too:

 

 

Hay Herosneri Yerke

The original Armenian versions:

Rosie Armen

Nersik Ispiryan

Karnig Sarkissian

Hrair Boudjikanian

The stolen version by Turks (a singer named Kubat):

It's apparently a theme song for a Turkish TV drama called "Aci Hayat (Painful Life)" that has absolutely nothing to do with Armenians. And they dare put the Armenian duduk in the song to top it all off.

 

The original Armenian version is a very old song (I think dating back to the post-WWI period) which is dedicated to Armenian fedayee heroes who fought the Turks. With words like "I'll die for Armenia" and "those Armenians who forget who they are [because of their massacre and exile at the hand of Turks]..."

 

Songs being stolen is a worthless thing to discuss. But THESE songs mean something far more than just a simple song. It's the soul of the pain of Armenians! If it were translated, or at least, referred to the pain of Armenians, then there would be no problem, but this is outrageous!

What kind of honor do these people have?
