Vano Smbati Siradeghyan (Վանո Սմբատի Սիրադեղյան; November 13, 1946 – October 15, 2021) was an Armenian politician and writer.

Siradeghyan was born on November 13, 1946, in the village of Koti (formerly called Shavarshavan) in northeastern Armenia, near the Azerbaijani border.

1966

From 1966 to 1969, he served in the Soviet Army.

1974

He graduated from Yerevan State University in 1974.

1983

In 1983 he published his first book titled (Sunday).

1988

In 1988, Siradeghyan became one of the main members of the Karabakh Committee, which demanded that the Soviet authorities transfer the Armenian-populated Nagorno-Karabakh Autonomous Oblast of the Azerbaijan SSR to the Armenian SSR.

1989

In December 1989, Siradeghyan and other leading members of the Karabakh Committee were arrested, but were freed in May 1990.

The Pan-Armenian National Movement was founded by members of the Karabakh Committee the same year.

1990

He held several high-ranked positions in the 1990s.

1992

He served as Minister of Internal Affairs from 1992 and 1996 and as Mayor of Yerevan from 1996 to 1998.

Siradeghyan was appointed the Minister of Interior Affairs in 1992 by President Levon Ter-Petrosyan, a post he held until 1996.

In this role, he addressed the issue of making the old KGB subordinate to the new government.

According to journalist David Petrosyan, Siradeghyan "controlled part of the local market in oil products, part of the incomes generated from transport junctions, the greater part of the food market, the smaller part of bread production, and the woodwork and timber industry."

Siradeghyan was criticized for his harshness against political opposition.

1994

In 1994, Ashot Manucharyan, Siradeghyan's former colleague from the Karabakh Committee, accused him of "subverting democracy and fueling corruption", while another former Karabakh Committee member, Hambartsum Galstyan, claimed that Siradeghyan was responsible for 30 politically motivated murders.

Galstyan was killed by unknown assailants in December 1994, which was followed by speculation that Siradeghyan had ordered the killing.

1996

He also played a key role in the forcible crackdown against Vazgen Manukyan's supporters' protests after the controversial 1996 presidential election.

In November 1996, Siradeghyan resigned from his position at the Interior Ministry.

On November 14, 1996, he was appointed Mayor of Yerevan by presidential decree.

1997

In July 1997, Siradeghyan was elected head of the Pan-Armenian National Movement's executive body.

He was a member of the National Assembly of Armenia from 1997 to 1999.

1998

After President Levon Ter-Petrosyan's resignation in February 1998, criminal charges were filed against Siradeghyan.

On February 1, 1998, Siradeghyan resigned from his position as Mayor of Yerevan.

Two days later, on February 3, 1998, President Levon Ter-Petrosyan resigned as a result of disagreements with "hard-line military leaders" Defence Minister Vazgen Sargsyan, Prime Minister Robert Kocharyan and Interior and National Security Minister Serzh Sargsyan over the Nagorno-Karabakh settlement negotiations with Azerbaijan.

After Ter-Petrosyan's resignation, Siradeghyan became the leader of the Pan-Armenian National Movement.

1999

In an interview in January 1999, Siradeghyan admitted that the government had resorted to vote-rigging to secure Ter-Petrosyan's victory without a runoff election and stated that after the crackdown, President Ter-Petrosyan fell into a three-month depression and wanted Siradeghyan and Defense Minister Vazgen Sargsyan to resign.

According to Siradeghyan, "the whole state apparatus was demoralized, paralyzed and no government was formed during [the ensuing] three months."

In January 1999, Aghvan Hovsepyan, the Prosecutor General of Armenia, called on the National Assembly of Armenia to strip Siradeghyan of his parliamentary immunity for allegedly ordering the murder of two police officers in January 1994.

Siradeghyan was charged with 10 offenses, including arson, murder, attempted murder and conspiracy.

As a response to these actions, Siradeghyan claimed that "they [the authorities, i.e., Robert Kocharyan's administration] want to strengthen their power and strengthen their grip on power in Armenia."

Meanwhile, Siradeghyan left Armenia for two weeks.

In February the National Assembly voted in favor of depriving him of his parliamentary immunity from prosecution.

In February 1999 the Deputy Minister of the Interior and National Security and commander of Armenia's internal troops, General Artsrun Makaryan was shot dead, "prompting speculation that he had been killed to prevent him from giving evidence against Siradeghyan."

In March 1999, Siradeghyan was reelected chairman of the Pan-Armenian National Movement.

Siradeghyan was arrested on May 3, 1999, at Zvartnots Airport after returning to Armenia from Bulgaria.

However, the Office of the Prosecutor General did not submit a request describing accusations against Siradeghyan.

On May 7, Siradeghyan was released from custody and continued the election campaign.

The parliamentary election in Armenia took place on May 30, 1999.

2000

He disappeared in April 2000 and was wanted by Interpol until his death in 2021 at the age of 74.

2011

At the 11th PANM congress, Siradeghyan criticized President Kocharyan and his alleged "military-police system".
