HAYKO HAS ALL ABILITIES FOR WINNING EUROVISION CONTEST, NADEZHDA
SARGSIAN SAYS

YEREVAN, MARCH 2, NOYAN TAPAN. Like presidential and parliamentary
elections, contests and competitions are also distorted in
Armenia. Yeghishe Petrosian, Director General of Ardzagank studio,
expressed such an opinion in his interview to Noyan Tapan
correspondent. He said that he knew in advance that Hayko will
represent Armenia at Eurovision-2007 music contest and the voting, in
his words, had a formal character. "In our country they try to push
out telented young people and to push through their people, in
consequence of which art suffers," Y. Petrosian emphasized. "To
participate in the contest was Hayko’s dream, so, let his dream come
true," singer Emma Petrosian said. Meanwhile, she considers that
bright individualities should take part in such contests, for
instance, singers like Aramo. "Foreign art critics have always highly
estimated Aramo’s art of performing and I think it would be right if
he participated in the contest," the singer said. In the words of
singer Shushan Petrosian, Hayko has presented a beautiful song. Though
Eurovision is not so acceptable for the singer, nevertheless, in her
words, if Armenia takes part in that contest, we should support the
Armenian singers. "We should support them and not reduce them to
despair. And Hayko should do his best for at least being included in
the best ten," S. Petrosian said. In Nadezhda Sargsian’s words, the
voting for electing the representative of Armenia passed in honest
conditions. By the way, her daughter, Emmi had also participated in
the election of Eurovision-2007’s Armenian participant, but she gained
the lowest points as a result of TV viewers’ voting. In N. Sargsian’s
words, if the song presented by her daughter was better, she would
win. "And Hayko deserved winning. Today our duty is to support him
and not criticize him inappropriately. I think Hayko has all abilities
to win," N. Sargsian said.
