"SYSTEM OF A DOWN" TO REPRESENT ARMENIA
The soloist of the well-known rock band "System of a down" Serj Tangian announced that the rock band intends to represent Armenia at Eurovision song contest 2009 on condition that the lyrics of his song mention the Armenian Genocide. He said that the Eurovision is a good opportunity to inform the world about the Armenian Genocide, the French-Armenian independent journalist Jean Eckian reported.
Besides fighting against the denial of the Armenian Genocide, the band's repertoire embraces also some other urgent themes - drug abuse, wars, religion, etc.
According to Eckian, similar songs generally have a success at the Eurovision song contest; for example, the song of the Greek singer "Panaki mu" in 1976 about the Cyprus war, the song of Bosnia Hertsogovina in 1993 about the war in that region, or Great Britain's song "Just a little bit" that was a hidden message about the genocide.
