Tigran Karapetyan
Tigran Karapeti Karapetyan (Armenian: Տիգրան Կարապետի Կարապետյան, 16 May 1945 – 21 October 2021[1]) was an Armenian politician and the chairman of the People's Party. He was also the owner of a private television company named ALM which operated from 2002 to 2011.[2]
Karapetyan was the founder of a small, populist political party which he founded after making his fortune in Russia. He appeared on his television station on a daily basis and his "folksy demeanour" was popular with working class and rural Armenians.[3]
He died of Coronavirus aged 76.[4]
