/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Georgia refused to participate in Eurovision 2009
Song Contest due in Moscow, Contest Project Manager in Georgia Natia
Uznadze reported.
On Tuesday European Broadcasting Union informed Georgian Public
Television Management about non compliance of `We don’t wanna put in’
song performed by Stephane and 3G with the contest rules. There’s a
rule against political songs in the Eurovision, so Georgia could have
changed song lyrics, present another song or even another singer. `The
band refuses to make changes in the lyrics, ‘ RIA-Novosti cited Unadze
as saying.
Stephane and 3G returned to Georgia from a trip abroad on Wednesday.
