Svante Stockselius: "Information on Armenian singer to be changed on official website of Eurovision"

"The competition is not political event. Therefore, the information placed on the official web site of Eurovision can not include political motive," Trend reports quoting Svante Stockselius, the head of the Song Contests Unit of the European Broadcasting Union Television Department, as stating by Lider TV channel.

The Azerbaijani Culture and Tourism Ministry sent a letter to the organizers of the competition, where it noted that Nagorno Karabakh was integral part of the Azerbaijan Republic and called on the organizers of the competitions to clear up the mess.

It should be mentioned that the reason for dissatisfaction of Azerbaijan was placement of the information on the web site that Armenian singer Andre was born in "Nagorno Karabakh Republic". It must be regarded as disrespect to the territorial integrity of Azerbaijan and support to the aggressive policy of Armenia, a letter says.
