President of Armenia, President of the Chess Federation of Armenia,
Serzh Sargsyan received the President of the International Chess
Federation, President of Kalmikia Kirsan Ilyumzhinov and his
delegation.
Serzh Sargsyan noted with appreciation that every visit of the
President of the World Chess Federation to our country marks the
start of a new program.
He said it's high time to call to life the agreements reached during
the 38th World Chess Olympics in Dresden.
Kirsan Ilyumzhinov once again congratulated President Sargsyan on the
brilliant victory of the Armenian team in the Dresden Olympics and
added: "Achieving champion's title is difficult, but keeping it for the
second consecutive time is twice as hard. It evidences that an acting
system has been established." He welcomed the efforts of the Armenian
authorities targeted at the development of chess in the country, noting
that "there are serious results, when there is serious attention."
President of the world Chess Federation presented the steps FIDE
takes in the direction of development and popularization of chess. In
this context the interlocutors discussed the idea of building a Chess
Palace in Yerevan, which was generally approved. Reference was made
to the preparation of the international Grand Prix championship to
be held in Yerevan in August.
