“All cleared with the new Ukrainian government: they shall take away Al Bano by the blacklist.’ The state lawyer Christian Magaletti , who has followed the story for the account of the apulian singer, thanking “the whole of the embassy of ukraine, who helped us in the dialogue with the government during their elections, so as to clarify the neutral position of the artist. The location of Al Bano is unique and strong, and his skills are artistic, musical, and his vision is and will always be a pacifist,” says the lawyer.
“With this statement I would like to specify and clarify what I have expressed in 2014 in relation to the belonging of the Crimea to Russia – said Al Bano – I have never been interested in each other, being a singer and not a politician. The Italian media then, without going in depth and without concern to the international law on this case, I have attributed statements about matters that are not of my competence. Having been involved, unwittingly, in the question, I am interested in this complicated international and I have taken note of the position of the international community on the territorial integrity of Ukraine including Crimea, as well as is stated in the documents of the Un, the Eu, Nato and other international organisations, as well as the official position of the Italian Government itself. I hope – he concludes – to be invited and welcomed in Ukraine for a concert of peace and music”. © Reproduction reserved
