“You don’t have to forget that I am representing my country and my heart, my feelings and my whole emotions. Even though one150 million people are watching, my thoughts are with my motherland. All I want to call out, to spread is that I just want peace on borders, Armenia wants peace. And that’s why I wrote this long. I just want to spread Love Waves. I wrote this song because this is going on inside me. I want peace everywhere. That’s why I put up the flag because I really want people to concentrate on that – I want peace in this world,” Iveta answered and her speech was joined the applause.
