On March 18, 2017, the music video of Fly with Me was premiered (the song was released as a digital download on 29 March 2017 through Universal Music), and it was announced that it will be the song of Armenian in Eurovision Song Contest 2017.[9] Arthur Manukyan was the director of the music video of that song.

According to Arthur Manukyan, the song conveyed so much emotion and at the same time caused so many different emotions that he decided to use different symbols in the music video:

This music video is like my own reflection. I was greatly inspired by this song, and I hope that fans and viewers around the world will love it as much as I did.[10]

According to the Armenian version of the official website of Eurovision Song Contest, the music video also retains the song's melodic line and attempts to present different ethnic features. Performances and light effects reflected the sun's rays, which, as the song says, shine at the same temperature for everyone.[11][12]

In December 2017, Khanagyan was announced as one of the competitors in Depi Evratesil 2018, the Armenian national selection for the Eurovision Song Contest 2018.[13] On 16 January 2018, his song "Qami" was premiered. Khanagyan competed in the second semi-final of Depi Evratesil on 22 February 2018, and became one of the five qualifiers to advance to the final on 25 February. On 25 February, the song was chosen as the winner of the competition.[14] The director of the music video of this song is Arthur Manukyan.[15]

When I first heard the song I instantly thought that the music video should reflect Sevak’s inner world – his emotions and feelings. There aren’t any excessive elements in the video – it is minimalistic, yet very expressive. I wanted to keep it simple and concentrate the attention on Sevak and his song.[16]

On 16 March 2018, a teaser of the music video was uploaded to Eurovision's official YouTube channel. It premiered on the same channel on 21 March.[17]

The music video for "Walking Out", a song by Armenian singer Srbuk which represented Armenia at the Eurovision Song Contest 2019 in Tel Aviv, Israel,[18] directed by Arthur Manukyan, was teased on 8 March 2019. It was released on Eurovision's official YouTube channel on March 10.[19] The music video was filmed in Armenfilm studio by Factory production.

According to Srbuk:

We wanted to visually portray the emotions within a loving but betrayed heart. When you think you will be filled with joy, but instead there is not enough air to breathe. When you want to share your happiness, but instead you start losing yourself: your hands are tied, your emotions are overwhelming, you keep pretending just to keep your love alive. But what are you waiting for? How long can you play by these rules? These are the questions and emotions visualized in the music video.[20]

According to Arthur Manukyan,

When I first heard the song, I immediately thought about the images and characters that you already see in the music video. Srbuk's character forces you to approach the work with such simplicity, that is, we didn't try to find complex plot solutions and so on. Symbols too, as you can see, are not too obligatory. Instead, they are relative and invisible, that is, everyone can perceive and interpret them in their own way. Indead, Srbuk's style approach has a big influence on the general structure of the music video.[21]։

The music video mostly received positive reviews and has over 6 million views on YouTube.[22]։

In March 2020, he again directed the music video for Armenia's Eurovision entry, the Hip Hop and R&B inspired song Chains on You by Greek-Armenian singer-songwriter Athena Manoukian, which had been selected after winning The Armenian selection in February 2020. The video was released on March 13, and largely sees her in two surroundings - in front of, and on top of, a giant diamond, and on a throne.[23]

“We had only 2 weeks after Depi Evratesil to revamp the song and shoot the music video, and after days and nights of rehearsals and preparations I’m very excited to share the result of our work. It is truly a joy working alongside such a professional team and believe me, we have a lot more surprises coming up!”

Whilst Eurovision Song Contest 2020 was cancelled the following week, the music video, which had earned widespread praise from fans,[24] would be featured in replacement entertainment such as Eurovision: Europe Shine a Light and Eurovision Song Celebration, and got over 4 million youtube views as of May 26, 2020.[25] In a poll on the fan website Wiwibloggs, it was voted for by fans as their second favourite music video out of the would-be 2020 entries.[26]
