He said that this complex is considered as the main venue to host the contest. I believe that the complex will be built in time, because the agreement was signed between Europeâ€™s prestigious â€œAlpineâ€ and Swiss â€œNussli AGâ€ companies. If such prestigious organizations took the responsibility to build the complex, may be, they implement it worthily.

Minister said that there was an alternative version on the place where the contest would be held: â€œHeydar Alieyv Sport Concert Complex in Tbilisi Avenue was completely repaired. Of course, there are no full conditions for holding the contest here. The press centers, VIP-rooms must be constructed there. This place is on agenda as reserve versionâ€.

Rahimov said that only Public TV can give exact information concerning the Eurovision Song Contest: â€œThe exact numbers were reflected in the agreement signed between Public TV and European Broadcasting Union. I was informed that about 25000 seats are considered in the complex, which will be built for the Eurovision Song Contest. It will be a palace that can meet all requirementsâ€.
