Serzh Varag Siseryan

Serzh Varag Siseryan holds 75% of shares in Radar ARM LLC, making him the majority shareholder and founder of the company, which operates the online media outlet radar.am. According to the company charter, this gives him the largest number of votes in management decisions.

Siseryan was born on November 10, 1988, in Sèvres, France. He earned a bachelor's degree in Environmental Health from the American University of Beirut, a master's degree in International Relations from Yerevan State University in 2012, and a master's degree in Political Science and International Affairs from the American University of Armenia in 2017.

From 2009 to 2017, Siseryan worked at Radio Sevan in Beirut as Deputy Director, Head of the Armenian Office, and news analyst. He served as a teaching assistant at the American University of Armenia from 2016 to 2018 and as a research analyst at the government's Centre for Strategic Initiatives Foundation from 2017 to 2018.

From June 1, 2018, to November 16, 2020, Siseryan served as head of the office of Deputy Prime Minister Tigran Avinyan, who currently serves as Mayor of Yerevan. Upon submitting his resignation, Siseryan announced that he was leaving the Civil Contract party, the ruling political force in Armenia. He explained that his decision to resign and withdraw from the party was prompted by a Facebook post made by Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan following the 2020 Nagorno-Karabakh war, in which the Prime Minister wrote that he was waiting in Yerevan for soldiers from the front line to finally settle the issue of those whining under the walls. Years later, reflecting on that moment, Siseryan said that the post stirred something in him and that he preferred to step away, though leaving the party did not mean a change in his political views.

Siseryan is the son of Ara Siseryan, who previously served as advisor to the Prime Minister of Lebanon. According to a 2023 investigation by CivilNet, the family of Yerevan Mayor Tigran Avinyan purchased a 1,000-square-meter plot of land in Nork-Marash, Yerevan, from Ara Siseryan at a price ten times lower than the market value in 2022.
