Armenia will start competing at the forthcoming 2022 Eurovision Song Contest on the first semi-final on May 10 alongside 17 other countries, the contest's official site reports.

The second semi-final with 18 contestants will be hold on May 12.

Hosted by Carolina Di Domenico and Mario Acampa, live from Madama Palace, the Semi-Finals lineups were determined randomly by drawing countries from 6 pots (based on historical voting patterns) to determine in which Semi-Final (and which half of that show) they would compete in.

The 'Big 5' countries (France, Germany, Italy, Spain and the United Kingdom) do not compete in the Semi-Finals, but it was randomly decided which of the two each country will be able to vote on.

AMPTV, the Armenian national broadcaster, confirmed in October 2021 that the country would compete at the forthcoming 2022 Eurovision Song Contest in Italy.
