[3] ARMTV internally selected Arevik as their debut entrant with the song "Erazanq" (Armenian : Երազանք). [4] At the running order draw for Junior Eurovision 2007, Armenia were drawn third, following Belgium and preceding Cyprus, where they finished in second place scoring 136 points. [5]

Following their debut success, Armenia continued to participate in the Junior Eurovision Song Contest, finishing in third place on three occasions (2012, 2014 and 2023), runners-up at five contests (2007, 2009, 2015, 2016, and 2022), and achieving their first win at the Junior Eurovision Song Contest 2010 with the song "Mama" (Armenian : Մամա), performed by Vladimir Arzumanyan achieving 120 points. [6] [7]

Armenia were the host country of the Junior Eurovision Song Contest 2011, which took place on 3 December at the Karen Demirchyan Sports and Concerts Complex located in the Armenian capital, Yerevan.
