}} "Apricot Stone" is a song by Eva Rivas that was the Armenian entry for the Eurovision Song Contest 2010 held in Oslo, Norway. The song was written by two former Eurovision songwriters: Armen Martirosyan, composer of "Without Your Love", the first Armenian Eurovision entry by André; and Karen Kavaleryan, six-time lyricist for five different countries. The arrangement was provided by nationally recognized arranger and record producer Ara Torosyan. The song featured the Armenian national music instrument duduk played by famous Armenian `dudukahar' Djivan Gasparyan, one of the oldest persons ever to feature in a Eurovision Song Contest performance, only beaten by Emil Ramsauer (95) of Takasa in 2013 for Switzerland. The instrument is traditionally made of apricot wood. The apricot, known in Armenia since ancient times, has long been held as an emblem of the country which has been called "The motherland of the apricot." 〔( Armenian apricot at welcomearmenia.com )〕 Some have interpreted the lyrics of Apricot Stone to have a political message about the Armenian Genocide.〔(Conspiracy theory in Eurovision: Turkey claims genocide hint in Armenia's "Apricot stone" at armenianow.com )〕 Later in France, an Armenian representative gave a speech confirming this claim. ==Charts== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Apricot Stone」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
