On 2 July, Alashkert played in their first ever UEFA competition, taking on Scottish side St Johnstone in the first qualifying round of the 2015–16 UEFA Europa League. A goal on the hour from Mihran Manasyan was enough to ensure Alashkert's first win in the competition.[1] The following week, Alashkert traveled to McDiarmid Park for the second leg, where a 73rd-minute goal from Norayr Gyozalyan gave Alashkert a vital away goal, as they lost the game 2–1, but progressed to the second qualifying round on the Away goals rule.[2] In the second qualifying round, Alashkert faced FC Kairat from Kazakhstan, losing the first leg of the tie 3–0 in Almaty.[3] In the second leg, goals from Ararat Arakelyan and Héber saw Alashkert win the game 2–1, but eliminated from the competition with a 2–4 aggregate defeat.[4]
On 18 August, Artak Yedigaryan signed a one-year contract with Alashkert.[5]
