Artush and Zaur
''Artush and Zaur'' is a novel by Azerbaijani writer and journalist Ali Akbar (alias of Alakbar Aliyev) published in 2009. It narrates the love story of two fictional men: Artush Saroyan, an Armenian, and Zaur Jalilov, an Azeri. The novel became a controversy due to the existing enmity between Armenia and Azerbaijan as a result of the ongoing Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, as well as homosexuality being a taboo topic in both societies, despite being made legal in the early 2000s.〔(Armenian Gays Face Long Walk to Freedom )〕〔(Armenia’s Animosity Towards Gays )〕
==Author's viewpoint==
In a 2009 interview, Ali Akbar stated that the chosen topic united "morally justified, mentally approved and intellectually substantiated" negative stereotypes which exist in Azerbaijani society. According to him, people of Azerbaijan should not label those they dislike as "homosexual" and "Armenian", because these characteristics are nothing to be ashamed of, unlike bribery, embezzelment, theft, treason, and libel. He described the theme of homosexuality as a distracting manoeuvre behind the more significant theme of the mutual estrangement of the two societies.〔(Alakbar Aliyev: Artush and Zaur Is a Battle against Fixed Stereotypes ).〕
