At the party, the singer of Argentine origin Maria Entraigues performed the national anthems of the United States and Azerbaijan.
The festive table abounded Azerbaijani national dishes, according to the press release. However, some of the guests recorded a “treat,” which the embassy did not mention. It was a girl in the garb resembling Aztec costumes in the middle of the table. She was standing in a hole in the center of the table and around her on the tray were Japanese sushi or something.
