Considering that everything in Azerbaijan is coordinated and
controlled by dictator Ilham Aliyev, one should beware that he will
turn Eurovision 2012 into a colossal event to propagate his regime, a
representative of the party of "greens" in the Bundestag and executive
secretary of the faction Volker Beck wrote in his item in Der Standard.
He thinks that "the regime in Baku" will try to use the final of
Eurovision for propaganda purposes, to conceal the truth about the
real situation in Azerbaijan.
The European Broadcasting Union says that Eurovision is apolitical,
but such event as Eurovision cannot stay aside of the politics, for
it is important for the entire European community, he thinks. Given
all these tendencies, the world Mass Media should inform the European
community of the human rights violations in Azerbaijan, Bek thinks.
These violations are among the circumstances that emerged from
the upcoming Eurovision Song Contest in Baku. It would be really
unpleasant if foreign journalists, especially those who work at state
radio stations, yielded to the strong pressure by the Baku regime and
observed the regulations of the contest to conceal mass violation of
human rights in Azerbaijan, the German parliamentarian said.
The 57th Eurovision Song Contest will be held in Baku on May 22 and
24, with the final to be held on May 26. Armenians singers refused to
participate in the contest in Baku because of Azerbaijan's continuing
displays of aggression towards the Armenian people.
