As if that wasn't enough controversy for the winner, Eva and the song- writer, Moscow-based Karen Kavaleryan, and music by Armen Martirosyan have other problems heading their way. The Turkish composer Yagoub Mutlu, who was present at Armenia’s national finals, has accused “Apricot Stone” of having a clear political message. He believes that the first line of the song refer to the Armenian Genocide, and believes that the term “motherland” refers to Turkish territories, while the rest of the song is a clear message directed at Turkey. The writer Karen Kavaleryan, an experienced Russian-Armenian lyricist familiar with the Eurovision Contest world and their rules. Rivas’ public relations manager, Hayk Markosyan has told ArmeniaNow that “the song has nothing to do with the Armenian Genocide, and it does not have a political context. The song simply presents the Armenian culture, the Armenian traditions, the apricot, which is just an Armenian fruit and it is the symbol of Armenia, and the thoughts of a young Armenian woman who lived far from the homeland for years.”
After all of these problems who will preform at Eurovision Song Contest in Oslo, Norway from May 25-29??
