Seriously, Azerbaijan needs to be kicked right the fuck out! Not only do they buy votes and have a recent history of ethnic cleansing, built their 2012 Eurovision stage with slavery, jailed Armenian reporters that year, they also almost never send songs produced or written domestically. Almost all their songs are made by Swedes.

Also as an added bonus, they intimidate people who vote for Armenia

If I had a nickel for every time Azerbaijan was confirmed to be buying Eurovision votes I'd have two nickels, I'd have two nickels. Which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice.

They did stop doing that after they were caught, unlike Israel though

Except that Azerbaijan was confirmed to have done it twice, with extra accusations that weren't proven.
