Czech jury dropped Armenia’s points from 12 to 2

The Armenians of the Czech Republic cast many for the Genealogy group representing Armenia at the 2015 Eurovision Song Contest, but the group only earned 2 points from the Czech Republic. This gets one to thinking, taking into consideration the fact that the Czech Republic gave Azerbaijan 12 points, writes Orer magazine of Prague.
The magazine also writes that Armenia’s representatives have always earned 12 points from the Czech representative during all the previous Eurovision Song Contests when the Czech Republic had the right to vote, and in the year when singers Inga and Anush Arshakyan participated in the contest, the Czech Republic gave 12 points to Armenia.
Of course, this means that Armenia doesn’t have the right to get few points from the Czech Republic. For instance, the Czech Republic didn’t give any points to last year’s winner, Austria.
If Russia, Italy or Sweden won this year’s Eurovision Song Contest, it would be understandable to a certain extent, but by dropping Armenia to 9th place and granting Azerbaijan the 1st place, the Czech jury affirmed that it’s subjective and lacks professionalism.
Taking into consideration the fact that the principle of voting has changed over the past couple of years and that national commissions share the votes upon their discretion, the members of the Czech Republic’s national commission managed to have an impact on the final results of the vote with their subjectivity.
Apparently, Baku’s petroleum has an impact on not only the leaders of the Czech parliament, but also the five-member national commission for the Eurovision Song Contest led by Czech radio commentator Yitka Beneshova. The results of the voting show that Armenia’s Genealogy group earned the highest number of votes from the Czech Republic and was in 1st place as a result of the votes cast via phone calls, followed by Russia and Italy in second and third places. Azerbaijan would be in fourth place, but the jury wanted it to be in first place.
