Armenian reports of the victory of "Nagorno-Karabakh republic
citizen" Ashot Danielyan in a sambo contest in Kazakhstan are being
investigated.
The Azerbaijani embassy in Kazakhstan is looking into the reports on
the sambo competition in Uralsk.
The embassy said that, according to the Ministry of Tourism and Culture
of Kazakhstan, Ashot Danielyan represented Armenia in the contest.
The regional website www.westkaz.kz also lists Ashot Danielyan as
competing for Armenia.
Nagorno-Karabakh is legally part of Azerbaijan, so sportsmen cannot
represent the region as a separate country.
Sambo is a martial art and combat sport, developed by the Red Army.
