Returning hopefuls among Depi Evratesil 2025 competitors
In a post released on their Instagram account, AMPTV confirmed which artists will be competing in Depi Evratesil 2025. The show will take place on February 16th at the Karen Demirchyan Sports and Concert Complex. This is the venue where the Junior Eurovision Song Contest was held in both 2011 and 2022.

Among the artists competing is Athena Manoukian, who won the competition in 2020. She had been due to represent Armenia at Eurovision 2020, but the contest was eventually cancelled due to the COVID-10 pandemic. The broadcaster also revealed that songs competing in the show will be released on February 9th, one week before the show.
Tickets will go on sale for the show in due course, according to the official account. The broadcaster added that the winner will be chosen exclusively through a televote, with no jury having a say in the selection of the representative.
Armenia’s Eurovision journey
In 2006, Armenia made their debut into the Eurovision Song Contest, where André represented the nation with his entry “Without Your Love”, placing 8th overall. Since their debut, Armenia has participated 16 times, 13 of which saw them make the Grand Final. Their best result, in 2008 and 2014, was 4th place; in 2008, Sirusho and “Qélé Qélé”, and in 2014, Aram MP3 with “Not Alone”.
French-Armenian band Ladaniva represented Armenia at the most recent contest, where they ultimately scored eighth in the grand final. Between the televote and the juries, “Jako” received 138 total points.
