Armenia has participated in the Eurovision Song Contest 16 times since making its debut in 2006, when André became the first participant representing Armenia and was the first singer from the Caucasus region to compete at Eurovision. The Armenian participant broadcaster in the contest is the Public Television Company of Armenia (AMPTV).
Armenia has reached the top 10 on eight occasions, with the country's best result in the contest being two fourth-place finishes, achieved by "Qélé, Qélé" by Sirusho (2008), and "Not Alone" by Aram Mp3 (2014). 2011 was the first year that Armenia failed to advance from the semi-final round. This was followed by the country withdrawing from the 2012 contest due to security concerns in the host city, Baku. In 2018 and 2019, Armenia consecutively failed to qualify from the semi-finals for the second and third time respectively. Armenia planned to participate in the 2021 contest but withdrew before selecting an entry. Armenia has qualified for every grand final since it returned in 2022.
