A 20-year-old graphic designer from Yerevan, Dayana Davtyan, was crowned Miss Universe Armenia 2019 last Tuesday, July 9 at the Black Fortress, in Gyumri.

The rest of the Top 5 finalists were Naira Vardanyan, Marina Danielyan, Aneta Gabrielyan and Liana Voskerchyan.

Dayana bested 24 other beauties to succeed last year’s winner, Miss Universe Armenia 2018 Eliza Muradyan. She will now prepare to represent Armenia at the Miss Universe 2019 pageant later this year.

Armenia, formerly Soviet republic, is situated in the mountainous Caucasus region between Asia and Europe. The country first joined the Miss Universe pageant last year.
