European Broadcasting Union (EBU) launched investigation on the
Azerbaijani incident on Eurovision-2009 song contest and Azerbaijani
Ministry of National Security summoning those voted for Armenian
contestants.
In an exclusive interview with APA news agency Svante Stockselius,
Executive Supervisor of Eurovision contest on behalf of the EBU,
stated: "The European Broadcasting Union is aware of the rumours and
accusations made in the media and started last week to investigate
the matter. The investigation will involve our technical partners
and also gives our Member Broadcasters the chance to respond. Until
this investigation is completed we cannot comment further on these
rumours and accusations."
NEWS.am has already reported that Ministry of National Security of
Azerbaijan (MNS) detects Azerbaijani citizens who voted for Armenia at
Eurovision-2009. 43 Azerbaijani citizens voted for Arshakyan sisters
(Armenian contestants). MNS summoned all the mentioned and had a short
talk of their 'political correctness', 'ethics' and other paramount
issues Azerbaijani should not neglect. But all this is done in the
light of "national idea and pride."
