Azerbaijan ahead of Eurovision

May 11, 2012

Baku is getting ready for the Eurovision Song Contest

ARCHIV - Die Flagge Aserbaidschans weht am 07.06.2011 in Baku, der Hauptstadt der Ex-Sowjetrepublik. Elf Wochen vor dem Eurovision Song Contest (ESC) in Baku hat Armenien seine Teilnahme am Wettbewerb im verfeindeten Nachbarland Aserbaidschan abgesagt. Das Staatsfernsehen werde keine Teilnehmer zum ESC im Mai entsenden, meldete der Rundfunk in der Hauptstadt Eriwan am Mittwoch (07.03.2012). «Wir sehen keine Logik darin, Menschen in ein Land zu schicken, in dem sie als Feinde angesehen werden», hieß es in einer Erklärung.
