Although Armenia appeared to be content with the televoting system
chosen to select their representative for Eurovision 2008, they will
be doing this by internal selection for 2009.

The two participants rumoured to be on the shortlist are System
of a Down, who have had renowned European-wide success and Arame,
voted best male singer at the Armenian National Music Awards in
2007.System of a Down have made note that they will only be keen
to represent their country if they are allowed to make mention of
the Armenian Genocide which took place. Something which could cause
concern since Eurovision is scheduled to take place in Moscow. Arame
is less demanding and would follow a trend set in place by last years’
representative, Sirusho, who had previously won the best female singer
award at the same awards ceremony back in 2006.
