Arsen Grigoryan – or his stage name Kamil, participated in the Armenian Eurovision national selection in 2018 with the song “Puerto Rico,” which finished fourth. Arsen was also a member of the Armenian jury at Eurovision 2023 and the spokesperson for Armenia in Eurovision 2018.
Gevorg Harutyunyan – participated in the Armenian Eurovision pre-contest in 2018 with the song “Stand Up.”
Anahit – participated in the Junior Eurovision in 2016, together with Mary and the song “Tarber” (translated at “Different”) which finished in second place.
This marks the first time in five years that Armenia will select its Eurovision representative and song through national selections. This method was previously used to select the Armenian entries in 2017, 2018, and 2020. After withdrawing from the competition in 2021 and returning in 2022, the Armenian representative and song were chosen internally.
Armenia was the last participating country to confirm its participation in Eurovision 2025, and with this confirmation, it also announced the return of “Depi Evratesil” as the Armenian selection method for the upcoming contest in Basel. The return of the Armenian national selection is part of a broader trend of countries reverting to national pre-selections, including Greece, Poland, and Slovenia.
