Azerbaijan Eurovision voters investigated

Some 43 Eurovision fans have been quizzed by police in Azerbaijan after they voted for Armenia, reports the BBC.
One of the men investigated by the authorities claimed that he has been accused of being unpatriotic by giving his support to the neighbouring nation's act Inga and Anush.
Azerbaijan had a conflict with Armenia in the '90s over the Nagorno-Karabakh region.
Azerbaijani authorities have claimed that the fans "had merely been invited to explain why they voted" for the track 'Jan Jan'.
Norway's Alexander Rybak triumphed in this year's Eurovision Song Contest, totally a record-breaking 387 points for his track 'Fairy Tale'.
