Alena Apina: I dream of moving to Baku

Baku is the best city I have ever visited, singer Alyona Apina told the correspondent of Vestnik Kavkaza in an exclusive interview.

"I told everyone that I would move to your city," she stressed.

Speaking about the festival, the singer praised its high level. "It's like in the movies, after which girls want to work in show business. But it's real, it's here in Baku. It's a pity that it's my first time here. I hope the tradition of holding this festival will continue," she said.
