Azerbaijan in hysterics over Armenia’s Eurovision pick, “Don’t Deny”

PanARMENIAN.Net - At Eurovision 2015 song contest, Armenia will be presented by artists from five continents.

On the occasion of the Armenian Genocide centennial – musicians from Europe, Asia, America, Africa, Australia will symbolize its emblem – the flower of forget-me-not. The idea behind performance is to unite a new generation of Armenians on stage whose families once spread all over the world in the year 1915.

The project called Genealogy will sing “Don't Deny” in Vienna.

Armenia’s entry, however, caused hysterics in Azeri media outlets who were quick to come up with accusations of politicizing the event.

Thus, Azerbaijan’s Public Television and Radio Broadcasting Company (ITV) issued a statement saying, “this contest can’t be a victim of any country’s political ambitions and converted into a political arena. The Public Television and Radio Broadcasting Company state that if the news is confirmed, we will also take appropriate steps in the contest.”
