[edit]

Hovhannisyan made his professional debut for Zemplín Michalovce against DAC Dunajská Streda on 24 May 2019. DAC had won the game 5–0. Hovhannisyan had replaced Sadam Sulley 56 minutes into the game, when the score was 4–0. Souleymane Kone had scored the final goal some 13 minutes after Armen's arrival.[2]

He scored his first league goal for Zemplín on 30 November 2019, in a match against iClinic Sereď at neutral Stadium Myjava, in a 2:0 victory. Hovhannisyan came on as a stoppage time replacement for Modibo Sidibé, but managed to score a goal from a counter-attack set by Christos Kountouriotis.[3] He managed to score again in the next round too, during a home match against Spartak Trnava. Hovhannisyan came on as a replacement for Sidibé once again, this time after the Nigerien striker suffered an injury in the 50th minute. In this match, Hovhannisyan scored following a pass by Peter Kolesár, sealing the score of the game for 2:0.
