The Azeris have launched a “cultural war” against the organizers of
the singing festival “Eurovision” and Greece where the festival is
to be organized this year.
The fact that irritated them was the biography of Andre representing
Armenia which was represented in the official website of the
competition. The problem is that Andre is from Karabakh. “This fact
can be evaluated as absence of respect for the territorial integrity
of Azerbaijan. It can be deduced from the fact that the organizers
of the festival defend the aggressive policy of Armenia”, the letter
to the organizers of “Eurovision” says, day.az reports.
The Azerbaijani Ministry of Culture found it necessary to remind
that the international community has focused its attention on the
negotiation process carried out with the OSCE Minsk group, and “such
facts” can have a negative influence on the process.
At the end of the letter the Azeri side had voiced hope that the
organizers of the competition who contribute to the dialogue of
cultures will solve the problem and will display respect for the
territorial integrity of Azerbaijan.
