Please accept my sincere congratulations on the occasion of a convincing victory of representatives of the Republic of Azerbaijan in the Eurovision-2011 Song Contest.
Nigar Jamal and Eldar Gasimov have won over millions of European viewers by their wonderful song, magnificent voices and outstanding choreography. Their performance was entertaining and modern, which is why it earned your country a well deserved success.
We know how long and hard Azerbaijan has worked to conquer this height, how much work and effort it has dedicated to this graceful victory. The people of Belarus supported Nigar and Eldar like their own friends and brothers and sincerely rejoiced at their victory.
I do believe that the experience of your country will prove useful for the participants of Eurovision representing Belarus, while the hospitable Azerbaijani land which will play host to this contest next year will bring Belarus the long-awaited success.
I wish you and all the people of Azerbaijan good health, success, happiness and prosperity.{nl}
