Arman Yeremyan was born on January 29, 1986 in Yerevan, Armenian SSR. He took up taekwondo under Arsen Avetisyan. He participated in and became the winner of junior international competitions. He won silver and bronze medals at the European Youth Championships in 2001 and 2003. Yeremyan won three bronze medals at the Universiade in 2005, 2007 and 2009. Yeremyan's most significant success was his gold medal victory at the 2008 European Taekwondo Championships in Rome in the men's welterweight (78 kg) division. He made history as the first Armenian taekwondoist to become a European Champion.
Yeremyan was the flag bearer for Armenia at the 2012 Summer Olympics and is the fifth ever Olympian to bear the flag of Armenia at the Summer Olympics. Albert Azaryan was originally intended to bear the flag of Armenia at the 2012 Olympics, but the decision was changed due to his age and the honor was passed onto Yeremyan instead.
Yeremyan won a gold medal at the 2012 European Taekwondo Olympic Qualification Tournament in Kazan qualifying him to compete at the 2012 Olympic Games in London. At the tournament, he defeated eventual 2012 Olympic silver medalist Nicolás García and Tommy Mollet. Yeremyan also became the first taekwondo practitioner from Armenia to compete at the Olympics.
