Club career

[edit]

Artur Voskanyan began his career in Zvartnots Echmiadzin, for which he played 11 games in his first season. At that time, he was still 17 years old. Zvartnots soon had a number of unsuccessful performances and soon became SKA-Arai Echmiadzin and was demoted from the Armenian Premier League to the Armenian First League. After leaving the club, Voskanyan moved to Van Yerevan. He managed to play only two seasons for Van, as the club was disbanded after the 1996–97 season.

In 1998, Voskanyan joined Tsement Ararat. The club won the 1998 Armenian Premier League that season and also the 1998 Armenian Cup and 1998 Armenian Supercup. Voskanyan was given the Armenian Footballer of the Year award in 1998 by the Football Federation of Armenia.[2]

International career

[edit]

Voskanyan debuted in the Armenia national team on 27 March 1999 in a home UEFA Euro 2000 qualifying match against Russia, in which Armenia was defeated 3–0. Over his entire time playing for the Armenia national squad, he made 52 appearances and scored one goal in a game against the Maltese national team.

In March 2010, Voskanyan was invited to the national team after having last played a year before.[3] He left the national team that same year.
