# Armenia in the Eurovision Song Contest 2025

Armenia will be represented at the Eurovision Song Contest 2025 with the song "Survivor", written by Alex Wilke, Armen Paul, Benjamin Alasu, Eva Voskanian, Jon Aljidi, Joshua Curran, Martin Mooradian, Pargev Vardanyan, Peter Boström, and Thomas G:son, and performed by Vardanyan himself under his stage name Parg. The Armenian participating broadcaster, Public Television of Armenia (AMPTV), organised the national final Depi Evratesil 2025 to select its entry for the contest.

## Background

Prior to the 2025 contest, Public Television of Armenia (AMPTV) had participated in the Eurovision Song Contest representing Armenia sixteen times since its first entry in 2006. Its highest placing in the contest, to this point, had been fourth place, achieved on two occasions: in 2008 with the song "Qélé, Qélé" performed by Sirusho and in 2014 with the song "Not Alone" performed by Aram Mp3. It had, to this point, failed to qualify to the final on three occasions, namely in 2011, 2018, and 2019. AMPTV briefly withdrew from the contest on two occasions: in 2012 due to long-standing tensions with then-host country Azerbaijan, and in 2021 due to social and political crises in the aftermath of the Second Nagorno-Karabakh War. In 2024, "Jako" performed by Ladaniva qualified to the final and placed eighth.
As part of its duties as participating broadcaster, AMPTV organises the selection of its entry in the Eurovision Song Contest and broadcasts the event in the country. It had used various methods to select its entry in the past, such as internal selections and a live televised national final to choose the performer, song or both to compete at Eurovision. Between 2014 and 2016, and again between 2022 and 2024, the broadcaster internally selected both the artist and the song, while the national final Depi Evratesil was organised in 2017, 2018 and 2020. AMPTV confirmed its intention to participate in the 2025 contest on 30 November 2024, announcing that its entry would again be selected through Depi Evratesil.

## Before Eurovision
### Depi Evratesil 2025

Depi Evratesil 2025 was the fourth edition of Depi Evratesil, the national final organised by AMPTV in order to select its entry for the Eurovision Song Contest. The competition took place on 16 February 2025 at the Karen Demirchyan Sports and Concerts Complex in Yerevan, hosted by Ani Khachikyan and 2014 Armenian entrant Aram Mp3. The show was broadcast on Armenia 1, as well as online via the broadcaster's website 1tv.am and internationally via the Eurovision Song Contest's official YouTube channel.

#### Competing entries

On 6 December 2024, AMPTV opened a submission period where artists and composers were able to submit their entries for the competition until 10 January 2025. All entrants were to be citizens or residents of Armenia or of Armenian descent, while songwriters could be of any nationality. Twelve finalists were selected by a jury following an audition round and revealed on 6 February 2025, while their songs, originally to be unveiled on the day of the final, were released on 9 February 2025. Among the selected competing artists was Athena Manoukian, who had been due to represent Armenia in the Eurovision Song Contest 2020 before its cancellation, as well as Anahit Adamyan, who had represented Armenia in the Junior Eurovision Song Contest 2016 alongside Mary Vardanyan.
