A group of Armenian singers has published a message urging the country
to skip the Eurovision Song Contest in Baku, News Armenia reports.
Artur Grigoryan, Art Director of the State Song Theater, said that
a group of Dorianz with solo singer Gora Sunjyan is willing to take
part. He emphasized that art should not be confused with politics.
Eurovision is a show, not art, the art director says.
Baku will host the Eurovision Song Contest on May 22-26.
Azerbaijan won the 2011 Eurovision Song Contest in Dusseldorf, with the
“Running Scared” pop-ballade performed by Eldar Gasimov and Nigar Jamal
(stage name Ell&Nikki).
