More than 30 journalists from European countries are constantly working
at the Eurovision press center in Yerevan. The center in the Sport and
Concert Complex is supplied with computers, monitors and everything
else for the comfortable work of the reporters.
Moshe Melman from Israel has been a Eurovision fun from 1970s. He has
been covering the Eurovision Song Contest for many years for his own
website and the Greek oikotimes.com. He says he would like Israel to
joint the Junior Eurovision Song Contest.
Moshe Melman has not yet left the press room to walk in the city,
while Juergen Boernig from the Dutch Radio International has managed
to see not only Yerevan, but also Etchmiadzin - "the Armenian Vatican."
There is one thing that surprised Boernig upon his arrival at the
Zvartnots airport. Unlike other ex-Soviet countries, people in Armenia
are smiling.
"People here are smiling, which is very nice, I was not expecting
that. People in other ex-Soviet countries are not smiling, going to
Russia, for instance," he said.
"It's very nice at the venue of the Junior Eurovision," the journalist
said, adding, however, that "it's cold, and that's the bad part of it."
"I don't know much about the Armenian people. The Eurovision is a
chance to meet people from this country and know something more about
their traditions. Eurovision is the perfect thing for that. There
is no other event, where you can meet other nations and make friends
from other countries," Jacob Neon of Serbia said.
