Yuriy Ajrapetjan
Yuriy Ajrapetjan is a Ukrainian chess player of Armenian descent.
He studied at Tavrida National V.I. Vernadsky University in Simferopol and works at a bank.
He was awarded the FIDE International Master title in February 2005 and the Grandmaster title in January 2008.

At Alushta he acquired his norms for obtaining the title Grandmaster. Since those only appeared in the FIDE rating of January 2008 he had to wait until January 2008 to be rewarded the Grandmaster title, because he did not have rating needed for the title until then.
His best Elo rating was 2537 in July 2009.
