Organizers of the Eurovision Song Contest 2012, which is being held in
the Azerbaijani capital city Baku, delivered a last-minute unpleasant
surprise for Can Bonomo, who will represent Turkey at the event.

Bonomo’s manager Ece Celebioglu informed that Azerbaijan “scored”
a last-minute goal, Hurriyet daily of Turkey informs.

“They did not allow for Can Bonomo’s and our family members to attend
the concert. They say they gave the [concert] tickets to other guests.

In fact, others will watch the performances on the spot, whereas Can
Bonomo’s family members will have to watch [them] on TV,” Bonomo’s
manager said.

Turkish media called this incident a huge disgrace.
