Aleksandre Karapetian

On 12 July 2019, he signed a contract with Russian Premier League newcomer PFC Sochi.

In June 2019, Karapetian scored in consecutive games to win UEFA Euro 2020 qualifiers against Liechtenstein and Greece. On 5 August that year, he netted again to give Armenia a surprise lead at home to Italy in the next game of the campaign, but was sent off before half time in a 3–1 loss.

After over four years without a cap, Karapetian was recalled in November 2018 ahead of UEFA Nations League away games at Gibraltar and Liechtenstein. He scored his first international goal to complete a 6–2 UEFA Nations League win against the former on 16 November, and struck again three days later to ensure a 2–2 draw against the latter.

In May 2017, he signed a two-year contract with the option of a third at FC Progrès Niederkorn.

At the end of the 2014–15 Luxembourg National Division, his contract expired and he considered offers from China, Hong Kong and Armenia but opted to remain in Western Europe, having trials at Germany's FC Erzgebirge Aue and SSV Jahn Regensburg before signing for FC Victoria Rosport in January 2016.

He made his debut for the Armenian national team in UEFA Euro 2016 qualifying on 11 October 2014, replacing Marcos Pizzelli for the last six minutes of a 1–1 draw with Serbia at the Republican Stadium in Yerevan, one minute after Pizzelli's penalty was saved by Vladimir Stojković.

Karapetian began his playing career in the German fourth-tier Regionalliga with Wehen Wiesbaden II, FC Oberneuland, SV 07 Elversberg and FC 08 Homburg. In 2013, he moved to F91 Dudelange of the Luxembourg National Division, and then on to CS Grevenmacher before returning to F91.
