FC Pyunik (Yerevan) with 50 points remain a clear leader and top title
contender after round 19 of Armenia's national football
championship. The defending champions are followed by the capital's FC
Banants and Ashtarak's FC Mika.
FC Ararat also has real chances to contest a medal this season. Under
the new coach Varuzhan Sukiasyan the Yerevan footballers have not lost
a single point yet.
Meanwhile, footballers playing in Armenia's top league continue to
sign for foreign clubs. Artashes Baghdasaryan has left Yerevan's FC
Kilikia to join Austrian Superfund, and Banants striker Vahe
Tadevosyan will play for Switzerland's FC Arau.
FC Pyunik midfielder (and of the National and youth teams), Levon
Pachajian has been given on loan to Israel's FC Hapoel (Petah Tikva)
until spring 2007.
