Armenia to decide on participation in Baku-hosted Eurovision 2012 soon

The head of the Armenian delegation to Eurovision Gohar Gasparyan said details will soon be provided on whether Armenia will participate in Baku-hosted Eurovision 2012 song contest.

As Ms. Gasparyan told a PanARMENIAN.Net reporter, decision-making on the issue is in progress, with specific details to be announced soon. According to her, negotiations with the European Broadcasting Union to provide Armenian contestant’s safety are to be held.

Azerbaijan’s Ell/Nikki duet with Running Scared song won the Eurovision 2011 in Dusseldorf, thus giving Baku the chance to host the contest next year.

Armenia’s Emmy was knocked out of Eurovision Song Contest 2011 in the May 10 seminal, although her performance of Boom Boom song was met warmly by the audience at Arena stadium in Dusseldorf, Germany.
