    European Broadcasting Union to examine issue of interrogation of
    Azerbaijani citizens voted for Armenian song in Eurovision 2009



    [ 29 Aug 2009 11:27 ]
    Baku. Ulkar Gasimova ` APA. The EBU committee responsible for running
    the Eurovision Song Contest, the so-called Reference Group, will
    examine the matter of interrogation of Azerbaijani citizens voted for
    the Armenian song in Eurovision 2009 Song Contest at a meeting in Oslo
    on 11 September 2009, APA reports quoting the contest's official
    website.

    The European Broadcasting Union (EBU) said it has received responses
    from Azerbaijan that the Ministry of National Security had given
    assurances that nobody had been questioned on voting in the
    competition. The EBU's Director General, Jean Réveillon, said
    he took note of the statements. However, he stressed that the freedom
    to vote for any song except the one of the country where you are
    watching is one of the cornerstones of the contest. `Any breach of
    privacy regarding voting, or interrogation of individuals, is totally
    unacceptable,' he added.
