Armenia has reportedly secured its third victory at the Junior Eurovision Song Contest, with 13-year-old Naré Kerobyan, performing as Naré, winning the 2026 competition in Malta on October 24.
According to the reported results, the young Armenian singer earned 202 points with her song “BOO!”, finishing ahead of Spain with 184 points and France with 165 points.

Who Is Naré Kerobyan?
Born in Yerevan on August 12, 2013, Naré began singing at the age of five and has also studied dancing and acting.
She was reportedly selected to represent Armenia following auditions involving more than 100 candidates.
According to ArmLur.am, this was her fourth attempt to earn the opportunity to represent Armenia at Junior Eurovision.
The outlet also reports that Naré is the daughter of Vahan Kerobyan, Armenia’s former Minister of Economy, who served from 2020 to 2024. Her mother is Mariam Harutyunyan.
The Story Behind “BOO!”

The music was composed by Lilit Navasardyan, with lyrics written by Grigor Kyokchyan.
The reported victory represents a major achievement for the young performer, whose musical journey began several years before her appearance on the international stage.
