Armenia has been represented at the Eurovision Song Contest 17 times since making its debut in Template:Escyr, when André became the first participant representing Armenia and was the first singer from the Caucasus region to compete at Eurovision. The Armenian participating broadcaster in the contest is the Public Television Company of Armenia (AMPTV).

Armenia has reached the top 10 on eight occasions, with the country's best result in the contest being two fourth-place finishes, achieved by "Qélé, Qélé" by Sirusho (Template:Escyr), and "Not Alone" by Aram Mp3 (Template:Escyr). Template:Escyr was the first year that Armenia failed to advance from the semi-final round. This was followed by the country withdrawing from the Template:Escyr contest due to security concerns in the host city, Baku. In Template:Escyr and Template:Escyr, Armenia consecutively failed to qualify from the semi-finals for the second and third time respectively. Armenia planned to participate in the Template:Escyr contest but withdrew before selecting an entry. Armenia has qualified for every grand final since it returned in Template:Escyr.

History

In July 2003, private broadcaster Armenia TV claimed to be debuting at the Eurovision Song Contest 2004, despite not being a member of the European Broadcasting Union (EBU), which organises the event.[1] The EBU later denied this claim.[2]

After the Public Television Company of Armenia (AMPTV) was promoted to active member in July 2005, Armenia debuted at the Eurovision Song Contest in Template:Escyr with the song "Without Your Love" performed by one of Armenia's top artists, André, and produced by Anush Hovnanyan. At the time, only the top 10 countries from the previous edition and the "Big Four" were automatically qualified for the final, Armenia had to compete in the semi-final to qualify. André, who was first to perform in the semi-final, reached the final of the contest on 20 May 2006 and gave Armenia a successful debut coming in eighth position. Having reached the top ten, Armenia did not have to compete in the semi-final in the 2007 contest, where the country achieved another 8th position.

In 2008, Armenia reached the top five for the first time, with Sirusho finishing fourth with the song "Qélé, Qélé", which received the most 12 points in the final, with a total of eight. This result was followed by two more top ten placements in 2009 and 2010, making Armenia, at the time, one of only three countries that had always placed in the top ten since the introduction of the semi-finals. This streak was broken in the 2011 contest, when Emmy and the song "Boom Boom" failed to qualify from the first semi-final by a margin of one point. On 7 March 2012, Armenia announced that it would withdraw from the 2012 contest due to security concerns in the host city Baku,[3] and resumed its participation the following year.[4]

In 2014, Armenia matched its highest placement in 2008, with Aram Mp3 and the song "Not Alone" reaching fourth place. Armenia has reached the final in 12 out of 15 contests, failing to advance to the final for the second time in 2018, finishing 15th in the first semi-final. In 2019, it failed to qualify for a third time, placing 16th in the second semi-final. Armenia had originally planned to participate in 2021, but later withdrew due to social and political crises in the aftermath of the Second Nagorno-Karabakh War.[5] Armenia returned to the contest in 2022, with Rosa Linn and the song "Snap" qualifying Armenia to the final for the first time since 2017 and ultimately placing 20th. Brunette with "Future Lover" placed 14th in 2023, followed by Ladaniva with "Script error: No such module "Lang"." placing eighth in 2024. In 2025, AMPTV reintroduced the Script error: No such module "Lang". national final format for the first time in five years, with Parg selected to represent Armenia with "Survivor". At the contest, he extended Armenia's qualification streak, progressing through the semi-final.

AMPTV also has a program titled Eurovision Diary, which details the experiences of Armenian Eurovision entrants. The program begins every year when the artist is chosen and ends with the Eurovision final.
