Akylas: 'I had a mini surgery'

Akylas also referred to the covers of the song "Ferto", with which he participated in Eurovision, in other languages. He expressed his joy for the impact that the song has, characteristically stating: "The Estonian singer made a terrific cover of the song. It is my great joy to see that the song has been so loved and that they cover it in other languages. I recently heard one in Ukrainian that was very interesting."
