Armenia to be represented by new group and in new format at Eurovision Song Contest-2015

YEREVAN, 11 FEBRUARY, ARMENPRESS. Eurovision Song Contest-2015 will be held in Vienna with the slogan “Building Bridges” on May 19th, 21stand 23rd. Staying true to the slogan for this year, inspired by the idea of the Forget Me Not (symbol of the 100thanniversary of the Armenian Genocide) and guided by the desire of several Diaspora Armenians who have always supported Armenia’s representatives at Eurovision Song Contest, the creative group at Armenian Public Television decided to present a new format at the contest.

As the Department of Public Relations of First Channel told “Armenpress”, attaching importance to the idea of peace, unity and tolerance, the creative group at Armenian Public Television has decided to bring together representatives of the new generation of Armenians scattered across five continents (Europe, Asia, America, Africa, Australia) in 1915. The group will include five Armenian singers. The number goes along with the five petals of the Forget Me Not flower, and another participant will join the group and bring the “petals” together. The group to be formed for the contest will be called “Genealogy”, including 6 artists, 6 destinies and 1 story.

The song is entitled “Don’t Deny”. The name of the first member of the group “Genealogy” will be announced on February 16th.
