Following President Erdogan's announcement on Friday that Turkey had discovered 320 billion cubic meters of natural gas in the Black Sea, one of the most shared songs on social media was Azerbaijani singer Azeri's "The Black Sea Flickered."
According to Qadin.Net, citing publika.az, Azer said that the discovery of gas opened a new era in the world.
"Although I am Azerbaijani, I have two mothers. That is why every success of Turkey is my success. I am very proud of the Republic of Turkey and this great nation. I think that a new era has opened not only in the history of Turkey, but also in the world. Turkey has started a new era, both in the name of humanity and on behalf of the world.
In the 2000s, when the poet Zalimkhan Yagub read the poem "The world will be Turkic", some people laughed. At that time, not only me, but also smart people, scientists and people who trusted this great country said that the 21st century will be the century of Turkey. This is our beginning, Turkey has written another saga in the 21st century. Of course, I am very happy. May God protect us from the evil eye. No matter what happens in Turkey, the Azerbaijani people will always stand by Turkey.
It is a great honor to sing the song "The Black Sea Flickered". When I sang this song, I always looked at the Black Sea with the eyes of Ahmad Javad. Both our poet Ahmad Javad and our composer Uzeyir bey created this work inspired by the Caucasian Islamic Army. I watched the song "The Black Sea Flickered" in 1914 through the eyes of Ahmad Javad. Of course, this is a matter of great pride for me. Blessed be the souls of both geniuses.
Today, the saga written by Turkey in the Black Sea has once again shown that the Black Sea has opened a new page in the life of the Turkish people. The President of Turkey will write great epics with the people. This was a start in the Black Sea, and I hope we will get good news from the Mediterranean, "said the singer.
