Azerbaijan, Baku / Trend corr. S.Alizadeh / Abutalib Samadov, the Director of the Agency on Authors' Rights of Azerbaijan, stated on 7 June that the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) did not respond to Azerbaijan's official appeal regarding the Armenians' appropriation of Kor arabi Music, the work of Fikrat Amirov, the Azerbaijani composer.

"We appealed to the WIPO on the matter. I met with the Deputy General Director of the organization. They are delaying the process of resolving the problem and explained that the investigation is proceeding," Samadov noted.

Azerbaijan will appeal to the European Court, if the issue will not be resolved by the near future, as the WIPO investigation cannot take so long.

"The international organization seems to be regarding the issue with indifference," Samadov added.
