Website of the song contest Eurovision has taken off all the materials
on the birth place of Armenian singer Andre, who has mentioned it as
the Nagorno-Karabakh republic, Azerbaijani minister of Culture and
Tourism Abulfaz Garayev told Trend.

According to Garayev, after the Ministry of Culture and Tourism
of Azerbaijan has addressed the contest organizers demanding to
correct the mistakes on their website, the latter have considered
demands of Azeri side as legitimate and have taken the decision to
take the article off. Andre will represent Armenia in this contest,
the minister said. And the name of Nagorno-Karabakh was completely
deleted from the website.

Autobiographical material of one of the contest participators-
Armenian singer Andre was recently published at the Eurovision
website. According to that material the singer was born in the
so-called ‘Nagorno-Karabakh Republic’.

Regarding this fact, Azerbaijani side demanded contest organizers
to put an end to injustice and respect the territorial integrity of
Azerbaijan, as Nagorno-Karabakh is an inseparable part of Azerbaijan.
