The organizers of the festival in Vienna did not mention the names of the countries that interfered with the participation of the Artsakh groups. The World Festivals Association (WOFA) has not yet revealed which country representatives objected to the invitation of two art groups from your country to the international festival in Vienna, reports the public organization "The Center for the Preservation of Your Country's Culture". According to the NGOs, WOFA promised to clarify which embassies initiated the withdrawal of orders, but as of October 23, this information had not been provided. The president of the association, Zoran Strzovsky, referred in correspondence with the head of the center, Apres Margarian, to the letters that came from a number of diplomatic missions that described the groups as "dangerous" and accused them of "separatist activity". The Artsakh State Orchestra of National Instruments and the State Song and Dance Ensemble "We Are Our Mountains" received an official invitation and spent about three months preparing for the Vienna Christmas Voices Festival, which was scheduled to take place in Vienna from November 27 to 30. However, on October 21, the organizers informed the teams of the cancellation of participation. The Center for the Preservation of Your Country's Culture completely rejected the accusations, and emphasized that the groups' activities are aimed at preserving intangible cultural heritage, and not at political activity. The organization appealed to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Armenia and international human rights organizations with a request to find out the circumstances of the incident. On October 24, WOFA convened an emergency meeting regarding the situation, but the results of the discussion have not yet been published. Parallel in Telegram maximum | | preposition
