On 28 February 2012, after a long break after the first call, he made his debut in the Armenian national team against Serbia. The match was held in Limassol, Cyprus. The game was a friendly one and the composition of the Armenian national team consisted mainly of young players who were playing on the main team for the first time. Poghosyan himself had the opportunity to score a goal, but missed. Armenia lost the match 0:2. At a press conference held on 2 March, Football Federation of Armenia President Ruben Hayrapetyan expressed his dissatisfaction with the game of Poghosyan, who he felt did not use his full potential.

Pogosyan was on the sights of the Armenia U-21 youth team coaches in early 2010. The first match he played was at home against their peers from Georgia, where the Armenian team lost 2:3 to their guests. In two games for the Armenian U-19 youth team, Poghosyan scored two goals in each match. Subsequently, Pogosyan was invited to the Armenia national football team, but could not play for it due to an injury, which he received at the same time as the invitation. The third match of the youth team was also a 2013 UEFA European Under-21 Football Championship qualification match against Montenegro U-21, where the Armenian team defeated their rival 4–1.
