Refusal to participate in Eurovision-2012 will damage the image of
Armenia, deputy – Executive Secretary of ruling Yeni Azerbaijan Party
(NAP) Ali Ahmedov told journalists.

“If Armenia refused to participate in the grand European Song Contest,
which will be held in Baku this year, then, I think it will damage its
image, which is not in a very good condition,” Ahmedov said.

Ahmedov said Azerbaijan has created all conditions for participation
of all countries, including Armenia, in this competition.

“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
