Huseynov/ The Embassy of Azerbaijan in Prague asked the Ministry of
Foreign Affairs of Czech Republic to assist in providing the security
of the mini football match between Azerbaijanis and Armenians. `The
embassy asked the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Czech Republic to
take measures to provide the security of the mini football match in
the world championship to be held in Hrudime between Azerbaijani and
Armenian team,' the Embassy said to Trend.
The mini football match between Azerbaijani and Armenian teams to be
held within the framework of the World Championship is fixed for 28
February, the Embassy said on a telephone from Prague on 9 February.
Arif Mammadov, the representative of the Azerbaijani Embassy in
Prague said that not only representatives of the diasporas, the
students and compatriots from Czech Republic, but also European
countries will support the match of the mini football players.
Special security measures are usually taken during all the matches
between Azerbaijani and Armenian sportsmen, particularly between
football players. The matches of the Armenian and Azerbaijani
football players have been delayed even canceled several times for
fear of the clashes between the fans.
The conflict between the two countries of the South Caucasus began in
1988 due to Armenian territorial claims against Azerbaijan. Since
1992, Armenian Armed Forces have occupied 20% of Azerbaijan including
the Nagorno-Karabakh region and its seven surrounding districts. In
1994, Azerbaijan and Armenia signed a ceasefire agreement at which
time the active hostilities ended. The Co-Chairs of the OSCE Minsk
Group ( Russia, France, and the US) are currently holding peaceful
negotiations.
