Is Erlang Object-Oriented?

https://www.infoq.com/interviews/johnson-armstrong-oop

Then, my thesis supervisor said "But you're wrong, Erlang is extremely object oriented". He said object oriented languages aren't object oriented. I might think, though I'm not quite sure if I believe this or not, but Erlang might be the only object oriented language because the 3 tenets of object oriented programming are that it's based on message passing, that you have isolation between objects and have polymorphism.

Though I must said I am pretty happy with CLOS (Common Lisp Object System), in particular its generic functions.
