Armenian singers refusing to take part in Eurovision 2012 in Baku
Armenian signers have disseminated a statement addressed to European Broadcasting Union and Armenian Public TV, whereby they announce their decision to boycott Eurovision song contest 2012 in Baku.
The one-page statement brings it to the attention of international community that the killing of an Armenian soldier Albert Adibekyan from an Azerbaijani sniper shot in border areas of Tavush region, Armenia makes it even impossible to discuss any participation to the song contest on Azerbaijani soil.
Armenian singers have been taking part in all Eurovision contests, since Armenian Public TV joined the European Broadcasting Union few years ago. The Junior Eurovision Song Contest was hosted in Yerevan in December 2011 after Armenia won the 2010 edition of the famous contest in Minsk, Belarus.
