It was noted that the Ministry found that the poems "Yurak" (Heart), "You Called Me by My Name, Mother," "Don't Hide Your Eyes from Me," and "I Left Everything to God," which belong to author Shokhrukh Abduvohidov, were used by performer Jaloliddin Ahmadaliyev without the copyright holder's permission and without concluding the appropriate agreement.
Regarding the violation, an administrative offense report was formalized under Article 177-1 of the Code of Administrative Responsibility (Violation of Copyright and Related Rights) and submitted to the relevant court.
