Yerevan. The Armenian national football team, which had replaced
its emblem featuring a silhouette of Turkey's Mount Ararat, known in
Turkey as Mount Agri, ahead of a match against Turkey in a World Cup
qualifying game in September, has recently started to use the old
emblem again, Turkish Zaman newspaper reports.
The previously new emblem of the Armenian national team, featuring
a tiger and a lion instead of the silhouette of Mount Ararat, was
introduced to the public at a September press conference in Yerevan,
with Armenian Football Federation President Ruben Hayrapetyan saying
that the change of emblem was due to demands from football fan
associations. Hayrapetyan also said at the time that the previous
emblem was not popular among fans of the national team.
