    Armenia: Azerbaijan protests to Eurovision organizers; dispute over
    Andre's birth place


    Fotis Konstantopoulos reporting from Athens (Greece)


    The Ministry of Culture and Tourism of Azerbaijan sent a protest
    letter to the organizers of the Eurovision musical competition to be
    held in Athens on indication of "Republic of Nagorno Karabakh" as
    birthplace of Andre representing Armenia in his biography placed in
    the official Internet page of Eurovision. APA was told by the
    press-service of the Ministry.

    The Ministry declared that this fact can be valued as disrespect and
    diversion against territorial integrity of Azerbaijan and can be
    understood as support by the organizers of the competition to
    Armenian aggressor policy against Azerbaijan: "We hope that the
    organizers of the Eurovision musical competition will eliminate this
    misunderstanding in a shortest period and territorial integrity of
    Azerbaijan recognized by world's states will be respected".
