BiographyHayk Hrachyayi Marutyan (Armenian: Հայկ Հրաչյայի Մարության; born December 18, 1976) is an Armenian actor, comedian, filmmaker and politician. He was the mayor of Yerevan from October 2018 to December 2021.

Marutyan rose to prominence as half of the comedy duo "Hayko Mko" (with Mkrtich "Mko" Arzumanyan) in the 2000s. They co-produced Kargin Haghordum (2002–09) and Kargin Serial (2010-13). Due to these, he is widely known as Kargin Hayko (Armenian: Կարգին Հայկո) to the Armenian public. He later starred in several comedy films, including Super Mother and Love Odd.

Marutyan became actively involved in civic activism during the presidency of Serzh Sargsyan. During the 2018 revolution he actively supported Nikol Pashinyan. He joined Pashinyan's Civil Contract party and was nominated as their candidate for mayor of Yerevan. He was elected mayor in a sweeping victory by garnering some 81% of the votes. Marutyan became the first mayor of Yerevan to be removed by a vote of no confidence by the Yerevan City Council in December 2021 amid political disagreements with the ruling government and Civil Contract party, which he left in December 2020.

In the run up to the 2023 Yerevan City Council election, Marutyan was nominated by the National Progress Party of Armenia as the party's mayoral candidate.

On 1 May 2024, Marutyan founded the New Power party. He was elected party Chairman.
