Surik Sergeyi Khachatryan (Armenian: Սուրիկ Սերգեյի Խաչատրյան; born August 1, 1956),[1] known as Liska,[2] is an Armenian politician who formerly served as the governor of the Syunik Province of Armenia, a position from which he resigned in 2013, presumably because of a shooting incident near his mansion in Goris.[1][3] Prior to that, from 1996 to 1999, he was the mayor of Goris. A member of Armenia's Republican Party, Khachatryan was also a deputy to the Armenian National Assembly from 1999 to 2004. He has a wife and four children.[1]
On June 2, 2013, Suren Khachatryan's son shot dead Avetik Budaghyan, the brother of Artak Budaghyan, a Nagorno-Karabakh Republic military unit commander in front of Suren Khachatryan's house in Goris.[4][5] Khachatryan was forced to resign on June 6, 2013 due to public pressure.[6] He was reappointed as the governor of Syunik Province in September 2014 by Prime Minister Hovik Abrahamyan.
He was president of the Syunik provincial council of the Yerkrapah Volunteer Union.[7]
