Armenia made its first appearance in the 2006 Eurovision Song Contest with the song "Without Your Love" performed by André. Armenia had never entered the competition before, therefore they competed in the semi final. André was the first performer of the semi-finals. The song reached the final of the contest on Saturday 20 May 2006. It finally gave Armenia a successful debute with an 8th position.
Having reached the top ten in the final Armenia didn't have to compete in the semi-finals in the 2007 Eurovision Song Contest on 10 May 2007. In the final on 12 May, Armenia entered the competition as 23rd of the 24 finalists and came 8th again.
Notable is that in 2006, Armenia finished 8th one point ahead of Greece, the following year they came 8th again, one point behind Greece. When Armenia ended 4th (best result to date) in the 2008 Contest, the country that finished 3rd was Greece (19 points ahead of Armenia).
