Ethnographer Gagik Ginosyan said the state's such close attention to
Eurovision song contest is senseless.
Though Armenia won the Karabakh war, now it suffers defeats in
peacetime, Ginosyan, the art director of Karin fold dance ensemble,
told journalist.
"We suffer defeats in the cultural policy. The humanity should have
conceived the fact that Kochari is our national dance long ago. We
should not have transferred the dance into Eurovision plane to be
blamed by Azerbaijanis for lifting the dance from them," said Ginosyan.
According to him, the state should finance the real Armenian art
rather than focus on Eurovision. Nevertheless, Ginosyan wished
Armenia's Emmy success at the song contest.
Emmy will participate in the semifinal of Eurovision Sing Contest
2011 on May 10 with Boom-Boom song. The opening ceremony took place
on May 7. The semifinals are scheduled for May 10 and 12. The final
is due on May 14.
