Limits and complexities

"It's not my fault if I play Azerbaijani melodies. Okay, I don't talk to them but I play their music. As a musician I play their music. And they do the same. Whether they play our music I don't know. But I play theirs. It's not about the music. Maybe it's not their music. Maybe it's them playing our music. It could be that way round. And then, you know, their music and ours comes from the same place: we play it, and they do. [...] And how we are [sic] supposed to know who wrote it? We sing it in Armenian and they sing it in Azeri. And whose music is it? It belongs to us all.What's the war got to do with it?"
