There are eastern motives, which Turks can ascribe to themselves, in the second part of Eva Rivas’ “Apricot Stone” song for Eurovision Song Contest 2010, according to maestro Martin Vardazaryan, People’s Artist of Armenia, composer and conductor of the Armenian TV & Radio Orchestra.



However, he said, Eurovision is played out and should not be taken seriously.



“The success of the song depends on the international image of the country and the size of Diaspora in different states,” Maestro Vardazaryan said.
