Baku. Ulker Gasimova – APA. Wrong information about the history of Baku on Eurovision 2012 website was based on Wikipedia materials, spokesperson for the Public television Tahir Mammadov told APA.

He said they immediately informed the European Broadcasting Union about the mistake. “We told them that there is no any historic basis of this fact. Eurovision.tv officials adequately reacted to it. They clarified that it was not their mistake, but the mistake of sources they based on. They published this information with reference to Wikipedia. The mistake was corrected on eurovision.tv, but when we visited Wikipedia, we saw same mistake there”.

Mammadov said they were working now to correct the Wikipedia mistakes and hoped that it would be corrected soon.

In its informative item about the Baku’s history, the Eurovision Song Contest’s website described the city’s historic roots as the Iranian capital.
