"Azerbaijan has organized a grandiose Eurovision 2012 show. The Organization Committee headed by the country`s first lady Mehriban Aliyeva demonstrated high ability", said Natalie Goulet, the French Senator, who watched the show live in the Baku Crystal Hall, in her letter addressed to AzerTAc.

The letter says: "During the Eurovision 2012 Song Contest, Baku - City of great lights, became an objective of a number of groundless political and diplomatic suppositions, criticism, envy and irony. Eurovision 2012 was a good opportunity for Azerbaijan to show its technological possibilities to the world. The grandiose show became Azerbaijan`s fascinating success.

Azerbaijan has organized a great representation of world-class, under the leadership of President and First Lady of Azerbaijan once again proved its worth as an independent state, which has a rich musical, cultural and tourist traditions".

Miss Natalie Goulet continued: "Criticisms of Azerbaijan are unfair and biased, because they were said by one who didn't familiar with the oldest and modern country. Those don`t even know that Azerbaijan is a big actor for the regional stability. Azerbaijan is situated in a region, both complicated and problematic, and the country has million of refugees, having a war situation with Armenia.

Despite country`s 20% of lands are under occupation, President of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev pursues purposeful and wise policy. Baku is a model of multiculturalism. Thus, Jews, Christians and representatives of other religious could and can now live here free without any anti-Semitism.

Truly, Azerbaijan is a country of tolerance; Azerbaijanis are modest and wise people!

The senator ended her letter by saying "Let`s come to Baku and see the reality by your own eyes, don't let the journalists to think instead of you!"
