    ANDRE: ARMENIA'S FIRST PARTICIPATION IN EUROVISION REGISTERS GREAT SUCCESS

    YEREVAN, MAY 31, NOYAN TAPAN - ARMENIANS TODAY. Armenia's first
    participation in the Eurovision-2006 song contest registered great
    success, whereas there were countries that have participated in this
    contest for several dozens of times but have no success. Singer Andre
    who represented Armenia at the contest declared this at the May 31
    press conference. Armenia took the 8th place as a result of voting
    of viewers of 38 countries and this means that a representative of
    Armenia receives an opportunity to perform in the final without taking
    part in the semi-final in the next, Eurovision-2007 festival. Andre
    is sure that not only the Armenian Diaspora, but also foreigners
    have voted for Armenia as they liked the song. According to Andre,
    his performance in semi-final had some shortcomings that were caused
    by sound directors. The singer said that almost participants of all
    countries had technical problems, which was normally accepted by
    them. "We treated this contest very seriously, whereas for other
    countries this was a common TV show," he emphasized. According
    to Andre, even the videoing was not done in accordance with the
    requirements of the producers of country-participants. Andre also
    mentioned that singers with strong voices, such as representatives
    of Cyprus and Belgium, took part in the Eurovision-2006, but they
    did not pass even to the final: "As a result, Finland won, which,
    as the organizers estimated, had come to Athens for mocking the
    Eurovision." Diana Mnatsakanian, Foreign Relations Executive of the
    Public Television of Armenia, informed that H1 is already working out
    the rules of participation in the preliminary stage of the Eurovision
    contest, which should be brought in correspondence with the general
    regulations of the European Union of Broadcasters. According to
    D.Mnatsakanian, they will be placed on the site of H1 by September
    and everybody who wants can present his/her songs by November.
