YEREVAN. – Azerbaijani state television has showed a video about allegedly bad organization of Eurovision 2013 song contest.

The journalists of Haberlar news program broadcasted on the television controlled by the Azerbaijani administration were assigned to compare this contest with last year’s Eurovision hosted by Baku.

The reporters used arsenal of provincialism combined with a desire for self-affirmation which ahs been cultivated for two decades. The story began with a remark that “cold” Swedes cannot compete with hospitable Azerbaijanis. AzTv team claimed the journalists were not provided with a high quality internet connection.

It was “astonishing” to hear that many journalists are hungry because of high food prices and there is an impression that “Sweden simply wants to earn money at the expense of the song contest.”
