European Broadcasting Union (EBU) launched investigation on the Azerbaijani incident on Eurovision-2009 song contest and Azerbaijani Ministry of National Security summoning those voted for Armenian contestants.

In an exclusive interview with APA news agency Svante Stockselius, Executive Supervisor of Eurovision contest on behalf of the EBU, stated: “The European Broadcasting Union is aware of the rumours and accusations made in the media and started last week to investigate the matter. The investigation will involve our technical partners and also gives our Member Broadcasters the chance to respond. Until this investigation is completed we cannot comment further on these rumours and accusations.”

NEWS.am has already reported that Ministry of National Security of Azerbaijan (MNS) detects Azerbaijani citizens who voted for Armenia at Eurovision-2009. 43 Azerbaijani citizens voted for Arshakyan sisters (Armenian contestants). MNS summoned all the mentioned and had a short talk of their ‘political correctness’, ‘ethics’ and other paramount issues Azerbaijani should not neglect. But all this is done in the light of “national idea and pride.”
