    Armenian Greco-Roman wrestling national team will not attend European
    Championship to be held in Baku, on April 13-18, as it does not give
    a rating, Armenian National Olympic Committee press service informs.

    The Committee's position is entailed by its strategy that implies
    worthy performance in rating tournaments, which enables more sportsmen
    to participate in the Olympics.

    Earlier, head coach of Armenian national team Levon Julfalakyan
    informed that the team is getting ready for the World Wrestling
    Championship to be held September 6-12 in Moscow. Thus, going to Baku
    is unadvisable.

    Meanwhile, Armenian youth boxing team will participate in the Youth
    World Championships held in Baku on April 23-May 1 to qualify for
    Youth Olympics in Singapore.

    In its turn Azerbaijani team did not participate in the Greco-Roman
    Wrestling World Cup held in Yerevan this February. Azeri federation
    reasoned their refusal by preparation for the European Championship
    in Baku.
