yep thats true. Thats like Russia today showing monuments that symbolize and celebrate their illegal occupation of Crimea or Abkhazia or Ossetia! It was very unethical and disgusting :/
@@nazrinsadiqova1878 cutting water and electricity supplies to the civil population of Crimea is unethical and disgusting. Bombing Tskhinval was disgusting. Azerbaijanian soldiers destroying ancient Armenian churches in Artsakh are disgusting.
@@kiparis777 Churches in Karabakh are old Albanian churches. It has nothing to do with the Armenians. The Armenians simply confiscated these churches. During the occupation, 65 of 67 mosques in Karabakh were destroyed. Not only mosques, but entire cities were destroyed. The city of Aghdam was completely destroyed. This city is called the Hiroshima of the Caucasus. It was also destroyed in Gabriel, Fuzuli, Kubadli, Zangilan, Kelbecer, Lachin and other regions. You are biased and ignoring the facts. More than 1 million Azerbaijanis have become refugees and internally displaced persons. All his goods were looted. Armenian vandals even removed gold teeth from people's mouths. It is impossible to turn a blind eye to the terrible genocide committed in Khojaly. 613 civilians were brutally murdered in one night. More than 4,000 people are still missing. The internal organs of many Azerbaijani prisoners were sold. They were buried in mass graves.
Fun fact: originally theis supposed to design an original garment for each country as well, but they really rather early they wouldn't meet the deadline, unfortunately :(
I love these postcards but they made a mistake about armenia because of monument of Karabakh(Artsak) Karabakh is Azerbaijan!! Our soldier liberated their lands
@@leahrowden3939 Really, she is! I have a book on the history of Eurovision by John Kennedy O'Connor where it mentions that bit, and the Wikipedia page for the ESC 2009 also mentions that bit...
@@leahrowden3939 yes, these are all the same girl - Xenia Sukhinova, just with different wigs and makeup, representing different countries :) That's the idea of these postcards that Xenia, representing Russia in the beginning, emraces a particular country's culture changes her look inspired by that country in the end. In the Russian postcard you can see that her style doesn't change in the end :)
@@leahrowden3939 I know right! Stylists made an incredible job. I remember they said that the whole shooting process took 4 full days for all the 42 looks. It wasn't only in the postcards btw, she was on many billboards in Moscow back then, representing all the countries in that edition.
No, the postcard was changed. The last "page" originally includes the monument We Are Our Mountains (the big stone head), however in the final they replaced that monument with a tower.
@@leahrowden3939 That's because the monument was situated in Nagorno-Karabakh, a disputed territory claimed by Azerbaijan and currently occupied by separatists. The Armenians later retaliated by having the jury spokesperson Sirusho holding a card with its image and another one looming on her background.
@Melis Tenguvaç Yeah, but it's populated by ethnic Armenians. If Azerbaijan want it back, they must ensure that the people of Nagorno-Karabakh can live in peace without experiencing any discriminated for being Armenian
