    Azerbaijani judokas will be provided with double security in the
    Youth European Championship to be held in Yerevan on September 9-14.

    "Armenian security service will ensure security of Azerbaijani
    sportsmen. Sportsmen will stay in convenient hotels. Turkish and
    Israeli teams will also stay in this hotel. Our sportsmen will be
    fully protected," Minister of Youth and Sport Azad Rahimov said at
    a news conference on Sept. 4.

    The agreement on security of Azerbaijani sportsmen was signed between
    Azerbaijani and Armenian Ministers of Youth and Sport Azad Rahimov
    and Armen Grigoryan, presidents of Azerbaijani and Armenian judo
    federations Fuzuli Alakbarov and Alexan Avetisyan, as well as members
    of the European Judo Federation and the Executive Committee of the
    European Olympic Committee during the visit of Azerbaijani Minister
    of Youth and Sport to Yerevan.

    The agreement stipulates that Armenia shall bear the responsibility
    for security of Azerbaijani sportsmen from the moment of their entry
    till departure from Armenia and to ensure dissemination of information
    and team's training.

    The document said that during the championship the Azerbaijani
    flag must be among the flags of other countries. If an Azerbaijani
    sportsman wins, the Azerbaijani state flag will be raised and the
    national anthem will be played.

    All participants of the championship will stand while listening to the
    anthem. Armenia must also ensure free participation of journalists
    accredited by the International Olympic Committee and ensure free
    access to internet.
