Karen's death is the hardest blow not only for its native and friends, but also, without exaggeration for all Armenia. Last time we met in November 2007 in the World Youth championship in Antalya (see the photo). Karen gone there to help the Armenian chess players. As always, gratuitously. As if feeling that we see each other last time, in spite of the fact that we lived with Karen in different hotels, we spent with each other a lot of time. Sympathetic, kind, cheerful - Karen was the favourite of all who knew him... You will be always remebered, Karen. R.I.P.

This terrible news was a shock for me and I still cannot get out of this state of mind that rejects what has happened with our frieind. I refuse to speak about him in the past. I do not agree with it, he did not deserve to have such a short life, it should not have happened, not with him. As they say in one movie, God always takes good people in the widest meaning of this word. Unfortunatele, this is so in most of the cases. We got to know Karen in 2004. It is a terrible loss for his mother, family. I ask myself one and the same question since i heard about it -WHY. This is not fare and like many of his friends, will NEVER believe that he is not with us anymore. If there is life in the other dimension, let him live there in piece. He will always be in our hearts.

R.I.P. Karen, great and beautiful GM.

you were an amazing player. your technique was flawless. you passed too soon. rest in peace genius and friend.
