And now, the guest of Lent.az was Elariz Mammadoglu, one of the local stars of Azeri showbiz, and self-styled "king of elite weddings".
So what does Elariz think about the solution of Nagorno-Karabakh problem?
I think, the more we have weddings, the quicker will be the remedy for Nagorno-Karabakh. People will marry, bear children and population will increase. Thus, we will win Armenians who are decreasing in numbers.And what about the global financial crisis? Did it hit Elariz?
I made a good move at the very beginning. First, I announced through my press secretary and TV that I have made a discount[in the prices for singing at weddings]. That was to let people not be afraid and let them approach [to arrange a deal]. If a person doesn't have money, what has he do? Not to marry? And should I insist that you give me 5 thousand [manats]? [...] But in general, the financial crisis has a significant effect. Number of weddings have decreased and we earn less as a result.

Now I know why he wants people to get married. That has nothing to do with solving the NK conflict, but everything with filling his own pockets! ;-)

To what degree are you interested in politics?
- I am not interested in politics. Back in 2000 they have asked me a question about politics. I answered in such a unique way that, it has became a catchword!I answered then: "I am stupid in politics"

[asked about recent information about politics, he answers:]
- For example, I know that America's president is Barack Obama, Turkey's president is Abdulla Gul, and Azerbaijan's is Ilham Aliyev. [..] Oh my God, I nearly forgot, add this please that France's President is Sarkozy. I like him very much. You know why? Because he is a womanizer.

How real is the solution of Nagorno-Karabakh problem within OSCE's (ATET) framework?
- I don't know what ATET is, but I know that "at" is "horse" and "et" is "meat"
[objected that it is impossible not to hear about OSCE, as they talk about it all day on TV, he answers:]
- What I heard I already said. For example, I know that Barack Obama is from Kenya. Then he moved to America and became the president. I know such things, but don't what anything about OSCE's Minsk Group.
