YEREVAN. - Head of the Armenian delegation at `Eurovision' Song
Contest Gohar Gasparyan called Azerbaijani side's statements
`hackneyed and out-of-dated', according to which if Armenian
contestant's song contains even the most insignificant Azerbaijani
tunes, Baku will submit a formal complaint to the organizing
committee.
`Every year Azerbaijan makes such statements, this sort of statements
are quite common. We have immunity to them. Furthermore, they are
outdated and we are sick and tired of this kind of statements,' she
noted.
Referring to the question whether it may serve as ground for Armenia
not to present a song with oriental tunes to avoid unnecessary
headaches, Gasparyan said: `Of course, no. Armenia has never taken
into account Baku's stance on Armenian songs at Eurovision Song
Contest,' Gasparyan told Armenian News-NEWS.am.
As reported earlier, in an interview with vesti.az, member of
Azerbaijani delegation Leyla Guliyeva said if Armenia's song at
Eurovision 2012 contains even insignificant Azerbaijani tunes, Baku
will submit a formal complaint to the organizing committee.
