    EUROVISION ORGANIZERS: "THE FALSE INFORMATION ON ARMENIAN PARTICIPANT IN THE WEBSITE WILL BE CORRECTED"

    Azeri Press Agency, Azerbaijan
    March 13 2006

    Showing of the place of birth of the Armenian participant as "Nagorno
    Garabagh Republic" in the official website of the Eurovision song
    contest does not aim any political content, the organizers of the
    song contest told (APA).

    The organizers said that the organizational committee of the contest
    has already received the protest letter sent by Azerbaijan's Culture
    and Tourism Ministry and, they will correct the false information soon.

    Azerbaijan's Culture and Tourism Ministry sent a letter to the
    organizers of the song contest protesting to the information on the
    official website of the Eurovision song contest that the Armenian
    participant Andre was born in the "Nagorno Garabagh Republic".

    The Ministry stated that this fact might be assessed as disrespect
    to Azerbaijan's territorial integrity and provocation as well as the
    contest organizers' support for Armenia's aggressive policy against
    Azerbaijan.

    "We hope the organizers of the Eurovision song contest, which serves
    cultural diversity and intercultural dialogue, will remove this
    misunderstanding soon, and respect Azerbaijan's territorial integrity
    recognized by world states," the Ministry wrote in the letter.
