Source-derived summary

Armenia was represented at the Eurovision Song Contest 2025 with the song "Survivor", written by Alex Wilke, Armen Paul, Benjamin Alasu, Eva Voskanian, Jon Aljidi, Joshua Curran, Martin Mooradian, Pargev Vardanian, Peter Boström, and Thomas G:son, and performed by Vardanian himself under his stage name Parg. The Armenian participating broadcaster, Public Television of Armenia (AMPTV), organised the national final Depi Evratesil 2025 to select its entry for the contest.

Armenia was drawn to compete in the second semi-final of the Eurovision Song Contest which took place on 15 May 2025 and was later selected to perform in position 5. At the end of the show, "Survivor" was announced among the top 10 entries of the second semi-final and hence qualified to compete in the final, marking a fourth consecutive qualification for the country. It was later revealed that Armenia placed tenth out of the sixteen participating countries in the semi-final with 51 points. In the final, Armenia performed in position 18 and placed twentieth out of the 26 participating countries, scoring a total of 72 points.

Background

Prior to the 2025 contest, Public Television of Armenia (AMPTV) had participated in the Eurovision Song Contest representing Armenia sixteen times since its first entry in 2006. Its highest placing in the contest, to this point, had been fourth place, achieved on two occasions: in 2008 with the song "Qélé, Qélé" performed by Sirusho and in 2014 with the song "Not Alone" performed by Aram Mp3. It had, to this point, failed to qualify to the final on three occasions, namely in 2011, 2018, and 2019. AMPTV briefly withdrew from the contest on two occasions: in 2012 due to long-standing tensions with then-host country Azerbaijan, and in 2021 due to social and political crises in the aftermath of the Second Nagorno-Karabakh War.

Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

A short description can identify a subject without explaining its stakes. For “Armenia in the Eurovision Song Contest 2025”, the useful work is to connect “open-knowledge reference entry” to the records capable of establishing context and consequence.

Evidence profile

The citation trail is more important than the brevity of the summary: it shows where individual claims can be examined in context. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 4, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q132146724. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 2025, 2006, 2008 and 2014.

Critical limits

A concise general-reference account can conceal disagreements about scope, terminology or the weight assigned to individual sources. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.

How to read it

Use the entry as an orientation point, then follow its citations and revision history. Names, dates and institutional relationships should be checked against the original record.
