The Armenian chess team arrived at the airport "Zvartnots" on June 6
where the team was met by many journalists, high rank officials and
chess fans. They were very confused and couldn't speak about their
participation in the Olympiad properly. Anyway they answered the
questions of the journalists.
Arshak Petrosyan, chief coach of the team noted that it was a
historical moment for all Armenians. "Our team was really strong and
deserved the victory," claimed Petrosyan.
The leader of the team Levon Aronyan left for Germany from Turin where
he is to participate in club meetings. His close friend and Grand
Master Gabriel Sargsyan informed that Levon will likely visit Armenia
in close future. Asked the question how he managed to participate
in 13 meetings and gain 10 points Sargsyan answered, "I was lucky,
and the coaches trusted me."
Armenian Grand Masters headed for Republic Square from the airport
"Zvartnots" where a ceremonial was held with the participation of
the Armenian song stars.
The chess players again made speeches in the square and couldn't
conceal their excitement. Serge Sargsyan, chairman of the Armenian
Chess Federation noted that but for the Armenians' assistance the
chess players wouldn't win.
"I want to assure you that your assistance was vital during the
Olympiad," said Serge Sargsyan addressing the crowds of people gathered
in Republic Square.
Then he danced with the chess players whole-heartedly.
The ceremonial ended with firework.
It is noteworthy that Prime Minister Andranik Margaryan, NA Speaker
Tigran Torosyan, the leaders of law enforcing bodies and many high
rank officials also went to meet the champions at the airport and
participated in the ceremonial.
