Azeri jury votes

[Salmon]

Banning only now would already be too late. The EBU should've already looked for any irregularities in 2011 (for obvious reasons) or banned them in that year in which Azeri citizens were brought to the police for voting Armenia. It's getting more and more fishy, I swear :|

Or abolish the juries altogether because there are obvious flaws in the current system.

Results | Eurovision Song Contest - Copenhagen 2014Every juror putting Armenia last, placing other favourites very low, all votes looking similar. There's no way these results should be valid.

I think the place reflect their feelings towards Armenia. Even the Azeri public didn't vote for Armenia. Armenian jury have also place Azerbaijian last.We should be glad these countries perform on the same stage and not get indignant about their votes. You cannot pass so easily over a war, their wounds are not healed. They continue their war at another level, but in time they will pass over this step too, I'm sure of that. If my country would be at war (or had a recent war) with another and the jury from my country would vote that country, I would probably take it as a "treason" or a gesture that hurts alot. I cannot get indignant about their votes, I would probably feel the same. They gave each other 0 points. So what?! There are 36 countries in the contest, their votes for each other has little effect on the final score.

Yeah, because if they vote they get the police at their house asking why they voted, or even worse?

Armenia and Azerbaijan should BOTH be banned from the next ESC.

I don't think so, even the public share the same feelings for their neighbors like the jury.

total annihilation, desire for revenge and humiliate your enemy
Gods be damn if you vote your "enemy".

Ok, we all hate friendly or political vote, but ... Gods be damn if your best mate don't vote you
MOLDOVA --> ROMANIA

last year Moldova didn't gave us 12, though.

We dont need those sort of people in Eurovision

All the Belgian jurors placed under 22, because they knew they would win the televoting due to their Diaspora.

There's no single reason that they would do that on purpose. If they liked the song, they wouldn't care about possible high scores from Belgium to Armenia. Seems they all just disliked that entry, just like me.

UK jury did the same. They made strategies and cynical calculations voting in line (25,25,25,25,25) for Poland like Azerbaijian did for Armenia (25.25,25,25,25). So, UK is no better than Azerbaijian or others. German jury also voted in line for Denmark (1,1,1,1,1) like Moldovan jury voted for Romania (1,1,1,1,1).

Maybe they didn't liked at all Armenia or Poland.
my comment (" total annihilation, desire for revenge and humiliate your enemy") was a speculation.

Maybe the British jurors hated the Polish song (hip-hop isnt a popular genre in ESC), maybe the German jury liked the Danish song (it was annoyingly catchy), but the actions of those juries are nowhere near as bad as what the Armenian and Azeri juries did. To systematically place a country, without probably even listening to the song, last is disrespectful. Poland might have done well with the British jury if they had another song. The British jury didnt go into the session with a pre-determined vendetta against Poland, but the Armenian and Azeri juries were always going to put each other last, that was never going to change.

The jury from Azerbaijan ranked the top 4 as 19th, 23rd, 24th and 25th. This is obviously cheating, just look at the rest of the jury results, the juries have ranked each country almost exactly the same.
