Armenia at the Eurovision Song Contest

Debuting in 2006, Armenia has competed at the contest on 12 occasions. Their only non-participation since debuting came in 2012 when the contest was held in Baku, Azerbaijan. Armenia is usually quite successful on the whole, only having two non-qualifications. They came in 2011 when Emmy sang “Boom Boom” and in 2018 when Sevak Khanagyan sang “Qami”.

Armenia has finished in the top 10 on eight occasions with their most successful result being two fourth-places. Their first took place in 2008 when Sirusho sang “Qélé, Qélé” and achieved 199 points in the process. Armenia got their second fourth-place in 2014 when Aram MP3 sang “Not Alone”, amassing 174 points.
