Tigran Nagdalian

Tigran Naghdalian (8 June 1966 – 28 December 2002) was an Armenian journalist, who was assassinated in Yerevan.

He was the head of the Armenian Public Television, where he also hosted a weekly news program.

He was also considered an important witness in the trial of Nairi Hunanyan, the leader of the attack on the Armenian parliament in 1999.

[2] On 28 December 2002, Naghdalian was shot in the head by a group of supporters of the opposition at the entrance of the house of his parents in Yerevan and he died in hospital.

The opposition claimed the arrest was political and that Sarkisian was a scapegoat, arguing that he was instead killed because he knew too much about the 1999 attack on parliament.
