“EUROVISION” MUSICAL CONTEST
YEREVAN, MARCH 23, NOYAN TAPAN – ARMENIANS TODAY. Alexan Haroutiunian,
Chairman of the Council of the Armenian Public TV and Radio Company,
excludes recall of Andre’s song “Without You” from the “Eurovision”
international musical contest. He explained in his interview to Noyan
Tapan correspondent that it’s the Public Television that has received
the invitation to take part in the contest. “The decisions are made by
those who have chosen the song, who have chosen the show. The opinions
of the others maybe are interesting but can have no impact on the
decision”. Alexan Haroutiunian emphasized that the song was composed
by the best composer of the sphere Armen Martirosian and the
instrumentation was made by Ara Torosian: “For me, they are the
standards. I think the European experts’ opinions and indices of
Internet voting from different countries at the moment show that the
choice of the song is right”.
A.Haroutiunian also mentioned that the public has seen only the clip
prepared for Armenia and hasn’t seen the show yet and doesn’t know
what there will be on the stage. “I have already seen what is prepared
for the stage. This work was done by a world-famous person whose name
will be made public later. All this was done beyond the limits of
Armenia, with participation of the best dancers. I think that
everything to be shown, in any case, won’t make us blush”, the Public
Television Chairman emphasized. He said that the song was also
positively estimated by such authoritative local musicians and experts
as Yervand Yerznkian, Artur Grigorian, as well as singers of the genre
Nune Yesayan, Hayko and others.
