YEREVAN.- The Armenian Public Television has not broadcasted the
first semi-final of Eurovision 2012 held in Baku, said head of
Armenian delegation.
Talking to the Armenian News-NEWS.am reporter, Gohar Gasparyan said
the second semi-final will not be broadcasted as well.
The public television is likely to broadcast the final scheduled for
May 26, she added. Asked whether Armenia will be fined by European
Broadcasting Union for not showing the semi-final, Gasparyan said it
would not affect anything.
As reported earlier, Communication Coordinator for the Eurovision
Family of Events Jarmo Siim said the fine set for Armenia for refusal
to participate in Eurovision 2012 is 50% of the participation fee of
the Eurovision Song Contest.
"There is no reason why AMPTV [Armenian Public Television] would be
not let participate in the next edition of Europe's favourite TV show
if they pay the fine and broadcast this year's contest and follow
the Rules of the 2013 Eurovision Song Contest," he added.
