Meeting with Andre Who Represented Armenia in Eurovision 2006

On May 25 Andre who took part in Eurovision-2006 Song Contest and the
creative group were hosted by the NA Standing Committee on Science,
Education, Culture and Youth. The representatives of NA staff, MPs
and journalists also participated at the meeting with Andre.

As Hranush Hakobyan, Chairwoman of the Standing Committee assessed
though Armenia first time ever participates in the Eurovision Song
Contest this year, but the creative group could compose a good song,
select the right singer and come out from that experience with honour
during this short period of time. `We won two victories. First, Andre
could reach the final, second, he took the tenth place in the final,
providing the right for Armenia to take part in the final of
Eurovision 2007, which will take place in Finland next year,’ noted
Mrs. Hakobyan. As the MP observed, the importance of this Contest is
that it once more showed the Armenians’ unity all over the world. She
gave Andre as a present a watch engraved with the name of the
National Assembly on the occasion of his victory.

According to Andre, the most important thing in Eurovision-2006 Song
Contest was to appear in an appropriate manner. He noted that
everyone became better familiarized with the small country called
Armenia after this Contest. He also told about his impressions of
Eurovision-2006 Song Contest and answered the questions of those
present.
