Eldar and Nigar gave us this joy. I have no strength to express my feelings and it is very difficult to find a word. We have reached a peak for which we were running and saw unbelievableâ€, said general director of Public TV and Radio Broadcasting Company Ismayil Omarov at the press conference dedicated to Azerbaijanâ€™s victory in â€œEurovision-2011â€ contest.

Omarov said that May 14 was written to the Azerbaijani history with golden letters: â€œeverythingâ€™s basis depends on the choice. I congratulated the jury who made this choice. There were great hesitations during juryâ€™s choice, but a very proper solution was made. It is an ideal choice. And now it is the worldâ€™s choiceâ€.

General Director said that EBU presented to Azerbaijan the document ratifying the host of the contest in 2012. â€œToday they have called us. The discussions of the issues on place of contest will be held in EBUâ€™s office in Geneva on June 20. I am sure that the most beautiful and most grandiose contest will be held in Azerbaijanâ€.

Winner of the â€œEurovision-2011â€ contest Eldar Gasimov congratulated entire Turkic world on the occasion of victory: â€œThis is not only our victory, but all of us. Thank you for your belief in usâ€.

Nigar Jamal expressed thanks to those who believed in and trusted them and congratulated Azerbaijani people on the victory: â€œI was holding Turkish flag in my hand. I took to the stage with Turkish flag because we were representing entire Turkic world. It means that we are really one nation, two statesâ€.

Touching on Armeniaâ€™s participation in â€œEurovision-2012â€ contest which will be held in Baku, Omarov underlined that he will not say anything about it: â€œAs regards the participation of Armenian representative in this contest, I was informed that the Armenians were asked a question on it and they said that they would not participate in the contest. If they think so, I regret for it. â€œEurovisionâ€ is a contest which calls the people to humanism. We donâ€™t invite anybody separately. It is a very long process, there are very serious rules and we observe these rulesâ€.
