The Armenian parliament shooting was a terrorist attack on the Armenian National Assembly in the capital Yerevan in 1999, by a group of five armed men led by Nairi Hunanyan that, among others, killed the two de facto decision-makers in the country's political leadership—Prime Minister Vazgen Sargsyan and Parliament Speaker Karen Demirchyan.
