Armenian government allocates extra AMD 172 mln to Junior Eurovision 2011

At Nov 17 sitting, Armenian government resolved to allocate additional AMD 172 mln (approx. USD 450 thous.) in Junior Eurovision 2011 funding in view of lack of sponsorship.

As Armenian Finance Minister Vache Gabrielyan noted, “the funds will be provided to organize the contest on a proper scale, as sponsor assistance proved insufficient.”

Karen Demirchyan Sports and Concert Complex will host Junior Eurovision 2011 on December 2-3. Armenia will be represented by Dalita who’ll perform “Welcome to Armenia” song.
