Hrant Hovsepi Markarian (Шаблон:Lang-hy; born 1958) is an Armenian politician who previously served as the head of the Armenian Revolutionary Federation party's top executive body, the ARF Bureau.[1]

Markarian was born in the New Julfa neighborhood of Isfahan, Iran. He has a degree in Armenian studies from the University of Isfahan. In 1990 Markarian and his family moved to Armenia, and became involved in the First Nagorno-Karabakh War and organizing the ARF in Armenia.

In 1994, Markarian was arrested along with 10 other ARF members and accused of being the leader of a purported secret terrorist group within the ARF called the "Dro Group".[2] Markarian was sentenced to 5 years in prison, but was released in February 1998 after the Supreme Court of Armenia shortened his sentence to 3 years.[3]
