Sirusho will represent Armenia at Eurovision 2008 International Song
Contest. Next year the contest will be held in Belgrade, the capital
of Serbia.

Yesterday Sirusho’s candidacy was approved by the Artistic Council
of the Public Television and Radio Company of Armenia. The song will
be chosen by viewers during a voting on March 17.

According to new Eurovision rules, only the four founder countries
and the winner of the previous year will go directly to the
final. Representatives of the rest of the countries will go to the
final only after the semi-finals.

In 2008 Armenia will participate in the Eurovision Song Contest
for the third time. In 2006 Armenia was represented by Andre. Hayko
represented Armenia in 2007. Both singers occupied the 8th position.
