European people, don't must allow countries under totalitarian regimes, impose their propaganda in our freedom. And to use our song contest like a political tribune. For this reason, and because the settlement is clear about (only flags from countries officially recognised, can be used to Eurovision), this petition ask that Armenia be disqualified of the song Contest Eurovision 2016. They used our song contest for show a flag about territories not officially recognised (Karabakh). It's totally unrespectful of Europeans principles and lack of respect for our way of life. Thanks for support.

As you already know, today in Stockholm, the representatives of Armenia used the stage of this prestigious venue for their political agenda. They have hanged the flag of unrecognized "Nagorno Karabakh", which is actually internationally recognized integral part of Azerbaijan Republic. No country in earth except Armenia have recognised NK (as u refer “Artskakh”). .
Obviously Armenia is using Eurovision for state propaganda. Why are they even in Eurovision?
2) At the the first semi-final of the 2016 Eurovision Song Contest Armenia has hanged the flag of unrecognized Nagorno Karabakh. We can say it is political movement and violation of ESC rules. So we demand disqualification of Armenia from ESC 2016.

Seriously? The last thing that she should’ve said was ‘I want peace’. She’s picked up the nationalistic card to impress all the Armenian immigrants all over Europe knowing that it’s a sensitive issue, even more after the last clashes in Karabakh. EBU has clearly stated that the flags that are provocative are banned from the arena. This move was clearly intended to provoke Azerbaijan. In her last interview, Iveta said she thinks like a German and loves like an Armenian. No, you don’t. Growing up in Germany has not isolated you from all the brainwashing and the hatred toward Azerbaijan. While, a much younger and a less experienced artist, Samra gave a very positive response to this provocation. Couldn’t be said better! I’m truly disappointed. And saying that you want peace after such a provocative move is just ridiculous. Wanting peace would be holding Samra’s hand and saying that we, artists support peace. But no, you wouldn’t dare to lose all the nationalistic votes.
It came off as very contradictory for her to say she “just wants peace” after waving a such controversial flag in a clear sign of provocation. If anything, she is achieving the opposite of peace, she’s fanning the flames of conflict.

The waving of the Nagorno-Karabakh regional flag threatened the peaceful atmosphere of delegations, press and fans attending the Contest. It should result in disqualification.
