It is twice more pleasant to raise Armenian flag in Turkey: Levon Aronyan
10:27, 18 August, 2012
YEREVAN, AUGUST 18, ARMENPRESS: The next Chess Olympiad will kick off
on September 27 in Istanbul. This year too all strongest players will
be in the staff of national team. Armenpress tried to find out in
which condition the leader of the taem Levon Aronyan is.
-Some days later 40th chess Olympiad starts. How is the mood and in
which conditions are you?
- I think this time we have prepared well. We do everything in order
to be prepared. As always we will struggle for high positions. This
time I can surely say that we are one of the favorites as the team has
been untied for many years. The performances of last period show that
our grandmasters are in good conditions.
- Do you think that the fact that Olympiad wakes place in Turkey can
have any influence on the team?
- No, I do not think so. This is not the first time that we have to
play in Istanbul. We have such experience. It is twice more pleasant
when Armenian flag rises in Turkey than in another country.
- Which teams do you consider to be favorites of the Olympiad?
- As always there are chess superpowers which no matter of conditions
are always among favorites. Such countries are Russia, Ukraine,
Azerbaijan and Israel. I have difficulty to say who will manage this
time.
