ArmInfo. Monika Manucharova, a pupil of Robert Mkheyan’s popular band
from Gyumri, will represent Armenia at the Eurovision Junior 2008 in
Cyprus.

Manucharova’s candidacy was determined Friday evening by the jury’s
decision and SMS voting among TV viewers of the final concert
transmitted live on the Public Television of Armenia. Initially, 200
applications were submitted for participation in the national selective
stage, however, only 36 songs were admitted to the first selective
stage. As a result, the Expert Council admitted only 10 songs to the
finals.

“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
