    Armenia finished in 18th place in the 26-nation Eurovision final on
    its seventh appearance in Europe's biggest pop music contest on
    Saturday.

    The winner of one of the world's most-watched events on television
    this year was betting agencies' favorite Emmelie de Forest from
    Denmark with her song `Only Teardrops'. The 20-year-old singer earned
    281 points in a combined vote by viewers and national juries in 39
    countries.

    Azerbaijan's Farid Mammadov (234 points) and Ukraine's Zlata Ognevich
    (214 points) finished second and third, respectively, at the Grand
    Finale in Malmo, Sweden.

    The Dorians rock back and its front man Gor Sujyan representing
    Armenia scored a total of 41 points. The `Lonely Planet' song
    co-authored by renowned Black Sabbath guitarist Tony Iommi won no top
    marks for Dorians on the night. The highest Armenia earned was 10
    points from Georgia. The other nations supporting Armenia's entry were
    Bulgaria (8 points), France (7 points), Ukraine (6 points), Hungary (3
    points), Russia and Belarus (2 points each), Malta, Moldova and San
    Marino (1 point each).

    This is the second worst placing by Armenia since it began to send
    participants to Eurovision contests in 2006. Emmy failed to qualify
    for the final in 2011. The best result for the nation so far was
    provided by Sirusho, who finished just outside the top three in 2008.

    More information and results from this year's song contest in Malmo
    are available on Eurovision's official website www.eurovision.tv
