No mercy from Araks Ararat
Van-2 will want this one forgotten quickly: 4‑0, every duel lost, and a long ride home. Araks Ararat were ruthless in the way good sides are ruthless.

Only the photograph left for Vladimir Yeremyan
Fee agreed, terms agreed, medical booked. Vladimir Yeremyan will be somebody else’s player by the weekend, and around Araks Ararat the goodbyes have quietly begun.
Player ratings5 Mar 2029
Both of them Andranik Karapetyan's — 8.32
2 goals, and the second was the one that settled it. Marked 8.32, and he could have had a third with better luck at the near post.
Player ratings5 Mar 2029
Zhirayr Ashikyan, 20, steals the show — 7.97
Marked 7.97 at 20, in a side that makes no allowances for age. He did not need any, and he looked the least nervous man on the pitch.

Araks Ararat to lose Vladimir Yeremyan for free
There is no worse way to lose a footballer. Vladimir Yeremyan has pre-agreed a move away, which means every appearance between now and June is made by a man the club can no longer sell, and somebody upstairs will be asked why the contract was allowed to get here.

Vitor Gabriel and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Graduation day at Araks Ararat
6 boys move up, and somewhere in the building the people who coached them at twelve are quietly having the best morning of their working year. Nothing about this shows up in a result and it is why the academy exists.

$194.6K from the owner keeps Araks Ararat afloat
The gap in the accounts was filled from upstairs again. Supporters are entitled to be grateful and to ask what happens the month it is not, and both feelings arrive together.

Sergey Kochkanyan falls out with a teammate over standards
The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.
