    AZERBAIJANI ISLAMISTS THREAT PARTICIPANTS IN 'EUROVISION - 2012'

    The religious extremists in Azerbaijan have come forward with threats
    towards the participants in "Eurovision-2012", which will be held on
    22-26 May in Baku.

    To recall, on 7 March the Armenian Public Television officially
    informed the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) of their withdrawal
    from the 2012 Eurovision Song Contest. Such a decision is not
    accidental. Last week several Armenian singers disseminated a statement
    about the refusal to participate in the contest, as on 23 February
    an Armenian soldier was killed by the Azerbaijani sniper.

    The tragedy caused indignation of the Armenian society, including
    singers. Many of them said that to take part in the contest after
    the murder means to lower their national dignity.

    As Interfax reported, the information was placed at one of the islamist
    websites, the author of which called "Eurovision-2012" "a frightening
    dream for all the Muslims" and added that participants in the contest
    will be attacked. Azerbaijani terrorists have taken responsibility
    for the attempts to implement terrorist actions in several towns of
    the republic.
