Eleftheria Eleftheriou:”I have discovered Azerbaijan for myself”

Baku, June 2 (AZERTAC). “I am very glad that I have discovered such a wonderful country as Azerbaijan. This is the place with the most sincere and tender people in the world I have ever seen,” representative of Greece in Eurovision 2012 Eleftheria Eleftheriou told in her special interview to AZERTAC correspondent.

“I have never seen such hospitability which I `ve seen in Azerbaijan. The people are so sincere and tender that you feel as you are in home. Baku is such a wonderful and amazing city you don`t want to leave. I left my soul here, notwithstanding I leave. I will return to Baku, Azerbaijan again. Because you can`t see all must-see-places during one visit,” she said.
