Karabakh cuisine
The literature, culture and arts of Azerbaijan are so rich that the other side is trying to appropriate our national heritage. This is true not only of literature or works of Nizami. Our music is being shamelessly stolen by the Armenians. They appropriate the works of the genius composer Uzeyir bey. Our cuisine is being stolen by the Armenians as well. They are trying different ways to present it as Armenian cuisine, although the names of their national dishes are Azerbaijani words. If you ask an Armenian what the word dolma means, he will not be able to find an answer. This is the case with the word Karabakh, for them it is just a word, and they do not understand it, because it is not an Armenian word. Therefore, this behavior is very depressing for us, of course. We need to protect our national and cultural heritage.
