    "Some changes will be made to the information on Armenian singer Andre
    after the letter by the Azerbaijani Culture and Tourism Ministry,"
    said Svante Stockselius, the head of the Song Contests Unit of the
    European Broadcasting Union Television Department.

    "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.
