Radar Armenia

Radar.am is owned by Radar ARM LLC, which has three shareholders: Serzh Varag Siseryan holds 75%, Hayk Grigoryan holds 12.5%, and Harutyun Azgaldyan holds 12.5%.

Two key figures at the outlet have significant connections to Yerevan Mayor Tigran Avinyan. Founder Siseryan served as head of Avinyan's office during his tenure as Deputy Prime Minister from 2018 to 2020. Current director Nzhdeh Hovsepyan worked as press secretary to two deputy prime ministers, including Avinyan, from January to August 2021.

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.
