While Azerbaijan is trying to find out how its votes in favor of Dina
Garipova, the Russian participant in Eurovision 2013, disappeared,
Europe has started speaking of the problems it came across when voting
for Armenia.
This year Armenia has been represented at Eurovision by the rock band
"Dorians", which has gained the 18th place. Following the finals the
rock performers started receiving messages from their fans living in
Europe. In particular, the fans from the Netherlands and Belgium said
that their calls and sms-messages in Armenia's favor failed either to
be accepted or to be counted. To recall, earlier 15min.lt (Lithuania)
disclosed the scandalous case of the voting mechanism. According to
the journalistic investigation of 15min.lt, in Lithuania the votes in
Azeri participant Farid Mamedov's favor were purchased for 20 EUR.
To note, the winner of Eurovision 2013 was Emmelie de Forest
(Denmark). A total of 26 countries took part in the contest in 2013.
