This year Armenia will participate in 2012 Eurovision Song Contest to be held in Baku, Azerbaijan. A few minutes ago the official website of the contest presented the list of participating countries, Armenia among them.

In a conversation with a PanARMENIAN.Net reporter, the head of the Armenian delegation to Eurovision Gohar Gasparyan noted that Armenia’s participation in the contest proves its full fledged membership in European Broadcasting Union (EBU).

Azerbaijan’s Ell/Nikki duet with Running Scared song won the Eurovision 2011. Italy's Raphael Gualazzi with Madness Of Love song took second place followed by Eric Saade from Sweden.

Armenia’s Emmy was knocked out of Eurovision Song Contest 2011 in the May 10 seminal, although her performance of Boom Boom song was met warmly by the audience at Arena stadium in Düsseldorf, Germany.
