To recap, this year the contest took place in the capital of Malta – Valetta: Armenia represented the song entitled “Tarber” (different), written by Nik Yegibyan and Avet Barseghyan. The song focuses on stylistic differences between the two young singers and the struggle around it. The song presents an opposing struggle, which serves as basis for further unity, since there are three things that unite them eventually – song, smile and love.
