Armenia: Opposition Boycott Eurovision · Global Voices
Onnik Krikorian

The Armenian Observer reports that the politicization of the Eurovision Song Contest is continuing with the opposition in Armenia considering a boycott of the music competition and Armenia's entry, Sirusho. The young singer has been linked to the outgoing president's family and campaigned for his successor, Serge Sargsyan, in the February presidential election. However, the blog asks if what Armenia could gain from supporting Sirusho outweighs the domestic political considerations.
