Journalist of the American Time Journal website William Lee Adams shared his thoughts on why the Armenian delegation would feel ‘a little uncomfortable’ if it were to visit the capital of Eurovision 2012 – Baku.

According to him, every journalist was handed out a brochure in which it was stated about the ‘multi-partial democratic system’ and the Karabakh Conflict, ‘during which Armenian separatists started a bloody war as a result of which almost one fifth of Azerbaijan’s territory was occupied’.

“Fans and journalists left Baku having understood why Armenians would not have felt comfortable at all. On regional maps, which hang all over Baku, Azerbaijan’s neighbor countries were listed but Armenia was left out,” the reporter writes.

The reporter also mentions that the authorities prohibited the DJs of the Euroclub, where the fans were gathering, to play Armenian music, which was amongst the most popular.

“During a party I talked to 20-year-old fans under loud music. I told them I was American. ‘Armenian?’ they asked frowning their brows (as they confused American with Armenian under loud music),” the journalist wrote.
