PERSONAL HISTORY: Sarkassian grew up in the capital city of Armenia during a time of political upheaval, war with Azerbijan and the country's separation from the USSR. Smart and ruthless, Jirair parlayed a previous stint in a gang into a drug-dealing operation that extended over half the country by the time he was twenty. As the political situation stabilized, Jirair’s business became increasingly untenable and he made the switch to dealing weapons on an international scale, eventually relocating his home base to Thailand. When the tsunami of 12/26/04 sank one of his most crucial shipments, Jiair switched his business again, this time to focus on human trafficking.
