/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Baku will host Eurovision Dance Contest in September
2009.

As President of Armenian Dance Sport Federation Aghasi Lazarian
told PanARMENIAN.Net, Armenia will not be participating in the third
Eurovision Dance Contest. One of the reasons is Azerbaijan’s refusal
to take part in International Dance Sport Championship held last year
in Yerevan.

According to Azeri media, General Manager of Azerbaijani Public
Broadcasting Company Ismail Omarov declared that "Azerbaijan guarantees
the safety of all contestants including Armenians, should they wish
to participate."
