Eurovision Dance Contest in Azerbaijan cancelled
29 May 2009 16:21 (UTC +04:00)
The Press Service of Azerbaijan’s Ministry of Youth and Sport told APA that global financial crisis impacted on the contest, despite Azerbaijan seriously prepared for the its organization. With the UK staging the event’s first two editions, but not doing especially well on the scoreboard in either of them, the keenest new member of the Euro family - Azerbaijan - was set to welcome everyone to Baku in September for the third edition of the competition. The Dance Contest just hasn’t caught on in the way the EBU bosses hoped, so the organizers weren’t able to get enough participant countries signing up to justify the show going ahead.
