Here's a small selection of features he reported for the agency, on top of the onslaught of breaking news alerts the Moscow bureau contends with daily 🧵

Arman was the kind of guy who saved hurt hedgehogs in war zones. He was an incredible and vibrant personality and a great journalist. We miss him. We are mourning him. Rest in peace

In absolute shock at this news. I had the pleasure of working with Arman a few years ago, he was such a talented and enthusiastic colleague and was doing such vital work. RIP.
