YEREVAN. - Azerbaijani state television has showed a video about
allegedly bad organization of Eurovision 2013 song contest.
The journalists of Haberlar news program broadcasted on the television
controlled by the Azerbaijani administration were assigned to compare
this contest with last year's Eurovision hosted by Baku.
The reporters used arsenal of provincialism combined with a desire for
self-affirmation which ahs been cultivated for two decades. The story
began with a remark that `cold' Swedes cannot compete with hospitable
Azerbaijanis. AzTv team claimed the journalists were not provided with
a high quality internet connection.
It was `astonishing' to hear that many journalists are hungry because
of high food prices and there is an impression that `Sweden simply
wants to earn money at the expense of the song contest.'
