Viele Aserbaidschaner behaupten, die Armenier hätten ihre Musikinstrumente übernommen, doch der Musikethnologe Professor Amir Hosein Pourjavady weist darauf hin, dass die Armenier während der Safawiden-Ära als die besten Musiker und Gitarrenbauer bekannt waren, insbesondere für ihre Tar, Zurna und Kamantscha.

Azerbaijanis claim that we didn’t exist in the region at all.
„Azerbaijan“ itself, starting from the subject of history and ending in their own identity – absolutely fake and artificially made-up. Just like their „big brothers“ (minus history).
But Azerbaijanis didn’t exist back then. They were just Persians. Same way George Washington’s grandparents were just Brits. You can’t say Zulus stole from Puerto Ricans because their descendants ended up in PR.
I never understood how the descendents of nomads who migrated to the region in broad daylight can – with a straight face – claim that they somehow introduced everything possible under the sun to the locals who somehow had nothing of their own (?!). Circus.
Lol, one day they will claim as if they invented tuf stone😭
Tar and Kamancha isn’t Armenian instruments and Zurna is a cultural influence more then it is Armenian.
You guys seriously have some of the most beautiful musical instruments. Truly beautiful.
Aren’t they also now claiming the duduk, aka the quintessential Armenian instrument?? It’s kind of ridiculous.
Armenians and Azerbaijani’s both „borrowed“ the tar and kamancha from the Persians, though to give credit to any one group would be like giving Turks the credit for all the art and music in the Ottoman Empire (Many Ottoman musicians & luthiers were Greeks and Armenians in Constantinople, it seems this was a mirrored phenomenon with Armenians in the Safavid Empire) , because the national distinctions are a modern phenomenon. It’s very difficult/impossible to give credit to an ethnicity for an instrument, even the Arabs and Persians argue who created the oud.
My last name is Tarverdian, which I understand to translate to the maker/provider of Tars, the root word/instrument for Guitar and my ancestors were a part of the people brought from Armenia to Iran about 500 (more or less) years ago.
Azerbaijanis just mad that armenians did important historical things while they did nothing
The jealousy they have of armenians is huge lmao
