#BIRTHDAY: André from Armenia is 45 today

It’s début time again, and one that saw an expansion into the Caucasus – that area some claim is Europe and some claim is Asia. We’re not going to discuss that geographical question here.

Today’s birthday boy Անդրեյ Սերգեյի Հովնանյան/André Sergey Hovnanyan, usually known by his first name, achieved a curious thing. He opened the sole semi-final in Athens, and closed the final. He qualified sixth in the semi-final, thus burnishing Armenia’s fairly good reputation in the contest. Belgium and R*ss*a even gave him their twelves in both shows too. He may not have won, but we knew Armenia were here to stay. That win can’t be far away either.
