Dear friends and Eurovision fans, it is with great sadness that we announce our withdrawal from JESC 2020. Our team has been working tirelessly for months, to make our participation possible even during Covid19 and this unprecedented aggression in our region. But the war in Artsakh enters into a severe stage. All of us have relatives, friends, neighbours who have sacrificed their lives fighting for our freedom and our right to exist. In times like this it is our duty to stand with our nation and our motherland. Back in July, we have internally chosen Maléna to represent our country. A 13 year old girl, who is immensely talented, kind and passionate for music and her country. I’m proud to say that she was a big part of this decision and we all feel grateful to have such an incredible generation of young Armenians. Make no mistake, we will come back, stronger than ever. #peace #Armenia #Artsakh 🇦🇲
