The leading sport branch for Armenia this year has been chess. Our
sport achievements are being mainly registered in this type of sport,
Minister of Sports and Youth Affairs Arthur Petrosyan told Armenpress
that Armenia mainly registers success in chess and weightlifting.
"Armenia is the only country that has twice become an Olympic champion
and other states that once accidentally became champions cannot
be compared with us. We are great chess power," Arthur Petrosyan
convinced.
Another achievement, the minister said, is the growth of interest
in Armenian football, reminding that team games create greater
inspiration.
Arthur Petrosyan highlighted the circumstance that sport has
greater significance for small nations as each success increases the
