Press conference by Vladimir Arzumanyan
The winner of the 2010 Junior Eurovision Song Contest, Vladimir Arzumanyan from Armenia, gave a great press conference at the Minsk Arena just after his victory in the same hall.
He talked very openly with the press there and even admitted he liked Sonja from Serbia. “I told her yesterday,” the young star said.
He also had an interesting dream last night – he dreamt he'd have a tough day but that in the end he'd win! And did that come true!
But what does he want as a present for his victory? Well, putting into his words – “I want a brother, my mother promised me that if I'd win!”
Now, after winning the biggest music contest for young singers, he still doesn't think of himself as a star. “Stars are only in the sky, I'm only human,” Vladimir told the press.
His mother was also present at the press conference and was especially happy for his song. “He's from a small village in Armenia, so that's especially a big win for us,” she explained.
Congratulations to Vladimir and Armenia once again!
