It will soon be time for Armenia’s public to decide on their Eurovision representative for Basel. Ahead of Depi Evratesil 2025, the country’s national selection, we asked you to vote for your favourite act out of the twelve entries.
It’s a crowded race, especially since this is the return of Depi Evratesil after five years.
Now that we’ve tallied up all 2,089 of your votes, a clear frontrunner has emerged.
Athena Manoukian is a favourite to win Depi Evratesil 2025
The queen is back to claim her throne! Earning 36.86% of the total vote — more than one third of all responses — is Athena Manoukian with her fiery, self-empowerment track “DaQueenation”.
Athena won the last edition of Depi Evratesil in 2020. Unfortunately, Eurovision was cancelled that year due to the Covid-19 pandemic and Athena never made it to the big stage. Could this finally be her chance to represent Armenia on the international stage?
It was a close race between the acts in second and third place. But, it was Flora Bichakhchyan who managed to squeeze ahead and claim the silver medal with her relentless, chant-filled song “Prayer”, which earned 15.89% of the votes.
Not far behind on the podium is PARG with his stadium-filling, rock-tinged track “Survivor”, which got 15.41% of the votes.

Would Athena Manoukian be a worthy successor to Ladaniva? Did another act capture your heart? Let us know in the comments below.
Oh look, another completely uninspiring and forgettable song appropriating queer culture.
Athena seriously? Where is the actual song? Lol
Flora is the best PARG close second
Flora or Parg only. I can’t stand the tacky queen song i would have wished to see Athena grow as an artist over the last 5 years and send smth more heartfelt and good quality rather than a copy of her last attempt.
Yknow I often notice in the majority of these polls people just pick the name they’ve heard of
Yasss QUEEN slaaay!!!
Atena is terrible at live singing. I believe they won’t pick her again. I doubt since 2020 she took singing lessons so she could actually sing properly
I despised ‘Chains on You’ . Five years later she’s still a little girl playing dress up as a queen. Unbelievably, some gays will line up for it.
Got a problem with that?
Is she the one who sang Chains On You in the cancelled 2020 contest?
Yep. The very same.
Thanks
My prediction is that she’ll top the international jury vote, while either Parg or Flora winning the local Jury and Anahit&Gasoiia duet winning the televote. But Athena will get a good televoting score too. Anything can happen, good luck!
