Pleas, people, don't do this, cou's We on a Balkan, spent 15 years on human stupidity. Last year I prefer Hayko, song is very good. Qele- song is nice to, but a fill of "taste", on this year, telling me, that Day after Day is real good song. I translate Elnur&Samir song into Serbian language, met Elnur&Samir, gave to Elnur&Samir word, of song, only I have is picture and a lot of best wish to ALL, from Ex SSSR country. My favorit for this year is Azarbajan.
P.S. for Azer-s, Samir cougt a cold, and he has a fiver. Pray for him.

Azerbaijan is looser........
Viva Armenia ...........
Viva Sirusho..............
Qele qele is the best
Hello eurovision 2009 in Yerevan
Armenia ..............Armenia......... ........ Amrenia.........
rita, whenever you are loosing position, you immediately decide to escape. of course the UN resolution was the apparent failure of armenia and your press and politicians made no secret out of it, unlike you. go through the list, and you will find a few nonmuslim states. and even if the majority were muslim states, so what? the resolution has been adopted.
i realize that you were brainwashed very successfully (probably there was no need for much water, as your brains were good for the sought purposes 
but, just try to think over some basic questions sometimes. for example, why do you keep occupying our territory beyond Garabakh? not many people know that there are 7 regions, which are comparably as large as Garavagh have been also occupied.
also, your favorite response "nice try" has again failed. last time you told me that when i was supporting Russia. people who know me here can easily confirm my pro-russian position, while you immediately accused me in a populistic "nice try". so, come on, rita ) stop la-la-la-la-la
Isn't she the face of Azerbaijani tourism compaign? If so,she is georgeous...very nice example of Azeri beauty
Welcome Azerbaijan,you are always welcome to Turkey
Good Luck,I will vote for you
@Fariz G,
If you speak about the UN resolution, you should then know that besides some, I underline, SOME islamic countries you had no support, neither from EU, US, China and Russia. The UN resolution is total failure for azeri diplomacy.
I really do not want to speak about politics here, but your lies are so gross that it's difficult to leave them without response. But I stop there. I think you had more attention that you really deserve.
As I said previously, I'm very glad Azerbaijan enters the ESC this year. And I will certainly vote Elnur and Samir. I just want to encourage them! Good luck
Scooch should announce the UK votes, in full Scooch costume!! 
this song is so strange at the start
рита, что ты так раскричалась. calm down, political dynasties are no subject for shame or embarassment, when they provide a good serive for the people, as it happens in Azerbaijan.
and stop repeating the same. you always ignore the fact, that we elected Aliyev only once in 1998, and Ilham Aliyev also only once in 2003.
i was not comparing "Azerbaijan democracy", but politics in general.
of course, you are a total agressor in the conflict, which is broadly recognized by all the countries in the world and the UNO. so, it is you who tries to fool fools, but it is just funny. you are guilty in many troubles we have including refugees and subsequent poverty, as well as cultural and human genocide. you and your successing generations will have to pay for all these claims!
@ Liana,Rita,Tigran and other Armenians here
Just ignore those pathetic losers.As simple as that
Go TURKEY Go AZERBAIJAN BEST BROTHERS!!
EREXEK
plz stop it,let them write whatever they want that wont change the truth.
For Ruslan's information. Kocharian didn't belong to any political party in Armenia. Sarkissian has joined the Republican party last year. There were 2 parties ruling during the last 15 years. And there are about 8 major political parties and most of them are represented in the todays government coalition. What kind of party monarchy you are talking about? The one in Azerbaijan?
Fariz G
We shoot in our parliament to give some more happy moments to you because only thing you can do versus Armenia is to make fun of our problems and nothing more than that. Right? If you want to convince me that there are no problems in Azerbaijan(just note that at least i am writing the name of your country with a capital letter,man) and you have a dream country,you failed.
P.S. but you are right:many people here complain of the Gharabagh clan
what sarkisian or aliyev to do with this article?
