Krasimir Avramov, the Bulgarian representative in the 2009 Eurovision Song Contest, has just concluded his promo tour in Istanbul and has now returned to Sofia for the final rehearsals of Illusion before he flies off to Moscow in ten days time.
"I was blown away by Turkish hospitality and warmth. People were so helpful, eager to guide and inform us about everything. Even TV hosts made a point of escorting us personally to our cars to see us off. It feels great to have such neighbours close to us!" Krassimir told esctoday.com on his way to the airport to return to Sofia.
Krasimir, together with Petya Buyuklieva who will be together with him on stage in Moscow as a backing vocalist, arrived in Istanbul where a full promo schedule was laid out for them.
