Russia, which ranked the third in the Eurovision music competition after Turkey and Belgium, is now trying to create a scandal in Europe, alleging that the song of Russian group Tatu was unfairly treated in the voting.

Russian ORT TV-Channel’s Director Burenkov said that there was fraud in the voting system and they would ask for checking the votes. Russians are saying that it was a trick that Netherlands, Britain, Norway and Sweden gave higher votes to Turkey’s singer Sertab Erener than the Russian group Tatu.
