    AZARYAN NOT ALLOWED TO CARRY THE ARMENIAN FLAG DURING THE OLYMPICS

    The organisers of the 30th Olympic Games didn't allow known Soviet
    athlete, triple Olympic champion, four-time world champion, double
    European champion, and eleven-time Soviet champion, 83 years old
    Albert Azaryan to carry the Armenian flag during the opening ceremony
    of the Olympic Games.

    NovostiNK informs, the organizers substantiated their decision by the
    age of the legendary athlete. Still several months ago, by the decision
    of the Ministry of Sport and Youth Affairs and the National Olympic
    Committee, Albert Azaryan was to carry the flag. But in Armenia they
    were puzzled that the flag was carried by Arman Yeremyan (taekwondo).

    To recall, Albert Azaryan carried the Armenian flag in the opening
    Ceremony of the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing, where Armenian athletes
    won 6 bronze medals.
