APA reports the minister said that Azerbaijan had no role in making such decision: “It was confirmed in the letter we received from the relevant body of Europe yesterday that Azerbaijan is completely ready to host this contest in Baku. Unfortunately, the organizers weren’t able to get enough participant countries signing up to justify the show going ahead. Only 15 countries have been signed up till Nay 15”.

According to the minister, the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) said the contest was cancelled for global financial crisis only. “The crisis is the only problem creating obstacles for the countries’ participation. Azerbaijan is fully ready to host this contest in September, 2010”.
