- Arzu: Hi, I'm Arzu Geybullayeva
- and what you're seeing behind me
- is a church from the 11th Century
- It's actually in Georgia
- and funnily enough
- just about a few days ago
- I was in a village with Onnik Krikorian
- an Azeri village actually
- in the eastern part of Georgia
- and we were in a mosque
- so it's been quite a full few days
- seeing a mosque in Georgia
- and then seeing a really beautiful church
- in Georgia
- and now I pass it on to Onnik
- to ask a few questions
- Onnik: I guess I'm just interested
- in your general impressions of the village
- the wedding that we saw
- is it pretty common
- to what you'd find in an Azeri village in Azerbaijan?
- Arzu: First of all, what I thought about the wedding was
- really nice, it was a lot of fun
- I actually enjoyed myself a lot
- just speaking to local women
- and seeing how it's all being prepared
- It's very typical for an Azeri village
- for an Azeri village wedding
- I've been to maybe a few in Azerbaijan myself
- It's the same -- tents, tables, a lot of guests,
- a lot of food, nice Azeri music
- You know, it's a lot of fun
- Onnik: I saw you were trying to cause
- some trouble, though, at the wedding
- by speaking to the women
- and trying to find out their impressions
- of life as a woman in an Azeri village
- How did that go?
- Arzu: It actually went really well
- They were very impressed
- that I was from Azerbaijan
- I was young, I was independent,
- I was working
- and they were telling me that this girl
- she has a completely different mindset
- this is great
- we wish our women were like this
- but obviously they have their own complaints
- they said our girls marry young
- they don't go to school
- unless they go to Tbilisi with their husbands
- So, in fact, it wasn't really a lot of trouble...
- I was just opening their minds
- Onnik: And, in actual fact, the issues
- that do concern women in the South Caucasus
- [unintelligible]
- Arzu: I'm sorry?
- Onnik: They're fully aware of all those issues?
- things such as education, early marriage
- Arzu: Yes, yes, yes
- They're aware, but the problem is that
- it all comes down to education
- if they don't tell you at school
- that you can't get married at 17 or even 15
- then what a girl can do?
- Onnik: Thanks very much
- Is there anything you'd like to add?
- It's been a good stay in Georgia?
- Arzu: It's been an excellent stay in Georgia
- This is my second time in Georgia
- The first time I was in Tbilisi
- This time I'm really far from Tbilisi
- Not too far, maybe two hours away, but
- it's been an excellent trip. I've really enjoyed it
- and I hope there will be more to come
- Onnik: Excellent. Thanks very much
- Arzu: Thank you
