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
