Who is PARG?
PARG is the stage name of Pargev Vardanyan, a singer born in Hayravank in central Armenia. As a young child, he and his family moved to Russia, where he graduated from university with a degree in acting. However, he also began his musical career, setting up a number of different bands. He moved back to Armenia in 2022, and began releasing his own original music.
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.
