Narine Daneghyan

Narine Daneghyan is an Armenian journalist, based in Yerevan. She is covering political and sports issues. At first sight, sports and politics seem so different and incompatible, but Narine is doing her best to develop her skills in both areas. «Sports and political issues are the things in which I am mostly interested. And to choose one of these two is nearly impossible for me. So I am taking both”, says Narine.

She is an interviewer for one of Armenia’s most famous news agencies- MediaMax and sports reporter for the only sports magazine of Armenia “Sport De Facto”.
