Armenia entered the Eurovision Song Contest for the first time in 2006. Their debut entry ‚Without Your Love‘ was performed by Andre, placing 8th at the end of voting.
Armenia has yet to win the Eurovision Song Contest but has a strong record of qualifying for the Grand Final. In 2008, Armenia’s Sirusho won the Marcel Bezençon Fan Award for her song Qélé, Qélé.
The country also successfully hosted the Junior Eurovision Song Contest in 2011 after Vladimir Arzumanyan won the previous year with his song Mama.
Armenian broadcaster AMPTV launched a new national selection, Depi Evratesil (Armenian: Դեպի Եվրատեսիլ; „Towards Eurovision“) for the 2017 Eurovision Song Contest, and the same format was used in 2018 and again in 2020.
Armenia withdrew from the Contest in 2021 due to domestic issues that made participation impossible. It is hoped that they will return soon and build upon their two fourth place finishes (Sirusho’s Qélé, Qélé 2008 and Aram MP3’s Not Alone, 2014) and impressive qualifying record.
