One of those for Armenia was the Tatik-Papik monument in Stepanakert- which was designed by Soviet Armenians. Azerbaijan complained and had that scene pulled from the show's final. In a perfect come-uppance in my opinion Sirusho responded by displaying it anyway. I know it seems slightly petty, but so is whining that the organizers of Eurovision decided to use an Armenian monument to represent Armenia. Also its easier to be petty when you are giving Azerbaijan 1 point along with it- unlike the cheating Azeris.
