Hamlet Mkhitaryan

Hamlet Mkhitaryan was a prominent Armenian football player known for his successful career as a striker, particularly with FC Ararat Yerevan. He gained recognition in the Soviet Union for being the second top scorer in the 1984 Soviet Championship. His life took a tragic turn when he was diagnosed with a brain tumor in 1995, leading to multiple surgeries and ultimately his return to Armenia, where he passed away. His legacy is carried on by his son, Henrikh Mkhitaryan, who has achieved great success in football.
