Several bloggers and news agencies paid attention to the fact that Azerbaijan jealously politicized Armenia’s participation in the Eurovision song contest and got angry that Andre’s (the singer who represents Armenia) birthplace was mentioned as the Nagorno Karabakh Republic.

As a result of official Azerbaijani complaints, Eurovision “hid” the fact that Andre was indeed born in the Nagorno Karabakh Republic. The Azerbaijani government was backed by Azerbaijani and Turkish hackers, who hacked Andre’s official website posting anti-Armenian remarks.

Turkish singer Sibel Tuzun is set to represent Turkey at the Eurovision song contest in May of 2006, but her website carries anti-Armenian hate propaganda with links to a hatesite which calls Armenians “rodents”

Who was next to jump on Armenia? Turkey, indeed! What is Turkey’s role in the Eurovision contest? Well, apparently Turkey also has a representative at the song contest and apparently Turkey also has a website about their singer. What is wrong with that? Nothing, except for the part that the Turkish website carries heavy anti-Armenian propaganda with links to such hatesites as www.tallarmeniantale.com (which calls Armenians "rodents").

This was noticed by the Eurovision websites, oikotimes.com, esctoday.com and escsweden.com, who demanded the withdrawal of hate propaganda. The Turkish response? SWEARING!!!

Don’t believe? Read yourself!
