Armenia at Eurovision
Since Armeniaโs Eurovision debut in 2006, the Caucasian nation has become one of the contestโs most successful nations. With eleven participations so far, only once have they missed out on the grand final:ย Emmyโsย Boom Boomย in 2011. In addition, Armenia has six top ten finishes to their name.ย Sirushoย andย Aram MP3ย were Armeniaโs most successful representatives, finishing in 4th place withย Qรฉlรฉ, Qรฉlรฉย in 2008 andย Not Aloneย in 2014 respectively.
This year,ย Artsvikย represented Armenia following her victory inย Depi Evratesilย at the end of 2016. This three-month selection contest was Armeniaโs longest selection process ever and was praised by many for the high-quality production values and talent on offer.ย Artsvikย performedย Fly With Meย in Kyiv and finished in 18th place, a result that surprised many.
