15 February 2010 [11:26] - TODAY.AZ
Tonight, the Armenian entry for the 2010 Eurovision Song Contest was selected in a national final out of nine contenders. In the end, Eva Rivas convinced the jury and the TV public. She will represent her home country in Oslo with Apricot Stone.

The Armenian national final was broadcast live from the National Opera Theatre in Yerevan tonight, and it was presented by Gohar Gasparyan and Khoren Levonyan. The show was opened by Inga and Anush, who had represented Armenia in the 2009
Eurovision Song Contest.

Before the competing acts performed, Lys Assia, the winner of the first ever Eurovision Song Contest, in 1956, took the stage and wished all the participants the best of luck. Initially, ten songs had been selected for the final, but the song Never, performed by Sonya, was withdrawn from the competition, thus only nine entries remain. The winner was picked by a combined vote of the TV public (SMS voting) and an expert jury. This is the final result.
