Ruben Hayrapetyan turned down the assumptions that the Spanish referee
received an "order" from UEFA ahead of Ireland-Armenia match.
"Believe me there couldn't be such an order from UEFA. Michel Platini
is not the man who could have done such a thing," Ruben Hayrapetyan
wrote on his page in Facebook.
He also noted that the FFA has already appealed against the decision
of referee Eduardo Iturralde Gonzalez. "I am not interested in his
punishment. I am much more interested in canceling Roman Berezovsky's
red card," Ruben Hayrapetyan noted.
FFA head also expressed his deep gratitude to Armenian football fans
"who support their national team even in case of defeat."
"You are real fans. I am proud of you," FFA head said. Ruben
Hayrapetyan said that a celebration in honor of the Armenian national
team will be held "at the highest level" at the end of the year.
