Samvel Karapetyan

Last updated: May 29, 2026

Samvel Karapetyan is an Armenian businessman and the chairman of the Strong Armenia Alliance, which registered to compete in Armenia’s June 7, 2026 parliamentary elections. MPG polling consistently placed Strong Armenia in second place behind Civil Contract, making Karapetyan one of the most visible opposition figures in the pre-election period.

Groong has followed his emergence as a political actor, his party’s platform on Artsakh, the peace process with Azerbaijan, and foreign policy orientation, as well as the question of whether Strong Armenia can attract enough opposition voters to become a meaningful check on Civil Contract’s parliamentary dominance.
