    Congratulations are in order! Here’s an idea: For his opening production, Yusif could hire PUTIN to make his operatic debut as Prince [Czar] Orlovsky in ‘Die Fledermaus!!!???’ This would garner international headlines!

    His real dream would seem to be the military command of any Azerbaijani army committing war crimes against Armenians.

    Hopefully, it will be a full time job and it will spare us from their “artistry.” 😉

    Made for each other. He can employ his wife on a long term contract and let’s hope they stay there. May Azerbaijan enjoy them.

    Long life to Armenia
