Armenia announces hosts of Junior Eurovision 2022
Armenian broadcaster AMPTV has announced that Iveta Mukuchyan, Garik Papoyan, and Karina Ignatyan will host the 20th Junior Eurovision Song Contest in Yerevan next month.
Eagle-eyed Eurovision fans will recognise Iveta from the 2016 Eurovision Song Contest, where she represented Armenia with her electro-pop classic LoveWave.
The singer-songwriter will be joined by actor, writer, and comedian, Garik Papoyan.
Often described as the ‘funniest guy in Armenia’, Garik wrote Not Alone for Eurovision participant Aram Mp3, which went on to finish 4th for Armenia in Copenhagen 2014.
Completing our talented trio is 16 year old Karina, who most fans will recognise from Junior Eurovision 2019, when she represented Armenia with the song Colors of Your Dream.
The 20th Junior Eurovision Song Contest will take place in the Karen Demirchyan Sports and Concerts Complex, in Yerevan, Armenia, on Sunday 11 December.
