Ardalan was killed along with Sadegh Sharafkandi, Fattah Abdoli and Nouri Dehkordi during the 1992 Mykonos restaurant assassinations, Berlin.

[6] On the evening of September 17, at 10:47 p.m., two masked men burst into the back room of Mykonos restaurant and began shooting at the four Kurdish exiles around the table.

The fourth person was Nouri Dehkordi, a Kurdish political activist who was serving as a translator.

[7][8] In the Mykonos trial, the courts found Kazem Darabi, an Iranian national who worked as a grocer in Berlin, and Lebanese Abbas Rhayel, guilty of murder and sentenced them to life in prison.

In its 10 April 1997 ruling, the court issued an international arrest warrant for Iranian intelligence minister Hojjat al-Islam Ali Fallahian [9] after declaring that the assassination had been ordered by him with knowledge of supreme leader Grand Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and president Ayatollah Rafsanjani.
