Welcome to Three Minute Armenia!

 Hello! Welcome to the Eurovision Song Contest, first up..Armenia!

When deciding what country to focus on who participates in the Eurovision Song Contest, I became intrigued with the Southeastern region. With Armenia being one of the choices, I did some research and looked at previous Armenian performances in Eurovision. Armenia provided the contest with a variety of different music styles, in which I found interesting and decided to choose the country! Prior to the class, I did not know what to expect because of my lack of knowledge of the Eurovision Song Contest. As far as I know, a majority of the class, including myself, assumed a class called "UCOR 1400 - Eurovision" would be about European history! To our luck, 5 minutes into the first Zoom session, our professor assured us what this class will be about. Although I am walking into this class with little to no knowledge of Eurovision and Armenia, I am truly eager to learn more about this widely known song contest as well as one of the participant countries.
