    Smile Azerbaijan: iTV Has Sent Formal Complaint Regarding Map Shown During Eurovision Voting



    iTV, the Azerbaijani national broadcaster, has sent a formal complaint to the EBU regarding the map shown during the voting at Eurovision 2019.

    Azerbaijan has sent a formal complaint to the European Broadcasting Union, regarding the borders of Azerbaijan that were shown during the voting at Eurovision 2019. iTV states that the map of Azerbaijan shown during the broadcast, did not reflect what Azerbaijan sees as its borders.


    The statement reads:

    Yesterday, at the Eurovision Song Contest 2019, land connecting Karabakh Artsakh and Nakhchivan did not appear on the map. The Public Television and Radio Broadcasting Company has officially appealed to the organizers of the event and the leadership of the European Broadcasting Union with a formal appeal. At present, the other side is awaiting the announcement by the other party.
    Chingiz finished 7th in the Grand Final of the Eurovision Song Contest 2019 for Azerbaijan. The singer who performed “Truth” in Tel Aviv, brought Azerbaijan their best result in the competition since 2013.

    Alexander Laphsin, a Russian & Isreali Travel Blogger, was subjected to despotic treatment by Azerbaijan, after he was extradited from Belarus, and taken into custody in Azerbaijan. He suffered from imprisonment and torture at the hands of Azeri-Turks in Baku. As to his alleged crime against Azerbaijan, it was simply that he traveled to Armenia's Karabakh Stronghold (also known as Artzakh), and he spoke favorably about the Armenians whom live in Artzakh.

    After his release from imprisonment in Azerabaijan, Lapshin had this to say about it: “The Azerbaijani regime is kidnapping and killing anyone it doesn’t like.”

    Lapshin had a great deal more to say as he condemned Azerbaijan's despotic and genocidal behavior: “Azerbaijan, which is demanding this territory, is forgetting that 150,000 Armenians are living there, who use their native language. Azerbaijan is also criminalizing the use of traditional geographic location names.”

    He also spoke about how he was tortured, during his incarnation in Azerbaijan, and he claimed that he suffered from abusive Anti-Semitism, while incarcerated there: “On September 10, 2017 – my mother’s birthday, I was cruelly attacked in my prison cell. Four masked men stormed into my cell and began beating me, choking me, and when I was already unconscious they tied a rope around my neck to hang me in the toilet. Then I was transferred to the central hospital of Baku, where doctors documented that I was close to suffering clinical death. My ribs and teeth were broken, my entire body was in bruises.”

    Israeli & Russian Blogger Alexander Lapshin, extradited from Belarus, and flown to Baku, Azerbaijan, where he suffered from abuse, torture, duress and a prolonged incarceration. Lapshin's crime was that he traveled to Armenia's Karabakh Stronghold (also known as Artzakh), and blogged favorably about it. Masked Azeri armed men escorted Lapshin off the plane, sandwiched between them, and dwarfed by the guards.

    Meanwile they themselves claim the lands of all their neighbors (Derbent in Russia, Signaxi and a lot more in Georgia let alone the whole Armenia) and consider almost half of Iran to be Azerbaijan. I prefer to ignore them. As a Persian guy from Tabriz who lived in Baku for several years onse said me about bakunians: if you even catch a bakunian with a dick in his mouth, he will deny everything and claim that it was not a dick but a cucumber.

    Armenians rounded up and corraled Azeri prisoners of war, taken in the Karabakh War (1988-1994). The whipped and demoralized Azeri Prisoners were captured in the cold Winters of the last 2 years of the war (1993 or 1994).
