a Eurovision Song Contest participation.
“The Public TV Company of Armenia has intentions to apply for
participating in the 2006 Eurovision Song Contest,” the Armenian

has already broadcast the Eurovision Song Contest semifinal and final
in 2004 and 2005.
“The project became really very popular in our country.” Ms
Mnatsakanyan explains. “We have acquired the rights of broadcasting
the event in 2006 and 2007 as well and I can just imagine millions of
heartbeats of Armenian people living in our country and abroad when
they can watch our representative in the show someday.”
So far, the plans however remain intentions. “We need to know where
to start from and how to make it possible. It is not that easy.” the
