    WELCOME TO ARMENIA: YEREVAN GETS READY TO HOST JUNIOR EUROVISION

    The preparatory works for the Junior Eurovision International Song
    Contest 2011 to be held in Yerevan in December continue, and the video
    clip of Armenia's representative 12-year-old Dalita who will perform
    'Welcome to Armenia' has been posted on the Internet since Wednesday.

    Last year the representative of Armenia won in the Junior Eurovision,
    however unlike (Senior) Eurovision International Song Contest, the
    Junior Eurovision usually does not take place in the winner country
    (whereas in case of Eurovision, it is usually held in the country, the
    representative of which won the previous year), but rather in a country
    which has submitted a winning bid and meets certain requirements.

    Armenia submitted a bid and was chosen as host for the December 2-3
    competition, at Karen Demirchyan Hall.

    Gohar Gasparyan, head of the Armenian delegation in Junior Eurovision
    says that Yerevan is preparing for the Junior Eurovision 2011 with
    big steps, becoming a "Eurovision City."

    Currently the stage is being constructed along with other preparations
    to "combine Armenian and European innovations" Gasparyan says.

    This year, representatives (10-15-year-old children) from14 countries
    participate in the contest. Turkey and Azerbaijan did not submit
    entries.

    Tickets for Junior Eurovision 2011 have been on sale since October 26,
    at price from 9-55 Euros (about $12-74).
