Beauty contest Miss-Caucasus 2006 will be held in Yerevan Academic
Opera and Ballet Theatre on September 2.
Azerbaijan will not participate in the contest, APA reports.
The contest will be broadcasted by Georgian and Armenian televisions
and also by MIR Interstate Broadcasting Company. The photos of
contest participants will be taken in Armenian-occupied Azerbaijani
province of Nagorno Karabakh.
The winner of the contest will get a crown decorated with precious
stones and money grant as well as the right for participating in Miss
Tourism-2006 in Czechia.
Armenians hold this type of contest for the second time.
Azerbaijani Culture and Tourism Ministry official Intigam Humbatov
told the APA that Azerbaijan has not received an invitation for the
contest.
"They are pursuing their crafty policy under the name of cultural
events. We must not allow them to continue this policy. This contest
is of not state interest, and that is why we will not appeal to
definite bodies for that," he said.
