Commenting on the scandal over Eurovision-2009, Azad Rahimov,
Azerbaijani Minister of Youth and Sports, told in an interview with
APA news agency that there never existed a certain list with those
Azeris who voted for Armenian contestants. In addition, the number of
voters was not submitted by Azerbaijani authorities. NEWS.am has
already reported that Ministry of National Security of Azerbaijan
(MNS) detected Azerbaijani citizens voted for Armenia at
Eurovision-2009. The fact is also confirmed by MNS representative in
the interview with Azerbaijani BBC service.
The Minister also charged Azerbaijani branch of Radio Liberty with
`conducting unilateral policy in the given question, by trying to
politicize the issue and to present it in a politically biased
manner.’
European Broadcasting Union (EBU) launched investigation on the
Azerbaijani incident on Eurovision-2009 song contest and Azerbaijani
Ministry of National Security summoning those voted for Armenian
contestants.
