Due to political developments in Yerevan where riots have taken
place, the government has imposed a State of Emergency until the
20th March. Due to this the Armenian National Final scheduled for
this Saturday (8th March) has had to be restructured.

The National final was to include a concert where Sirusho was to
perform to the public the songs that would be voted on by the public in
order to choose one to go to Belgrade. This was scheduled to take place
at the Academic Opera and Ballet Theatre but has now been cancelled.

The National Final will now be filmed at a television studio with
limited access but which will be shown on Television at the same
time and date. A spokesperson for ARMTV confirmed this move due to
the inappropriateness of hosting a concert after recent developments
had led to the loss of relatives for many people.

The show will take place this Saturday 8th March at 18:30 CET and
will be available via Oikotimes.com
