YEREVAN, SEPTEMBER 28, ARMENPRESS: A new flow of Azerbaijani
government false promises has begun, trying to restore their
reputation for international community. Realizing that hosting
different international tournaments and events is under the risk, now,
they are giving promises on the security of Armenian sportsmen. As
Armenpress reports referring to Azerbaijani 1news.az web site,
Azerbaijani Minister of Youth and Sports Ismail Ismailov has declared
that sport should not be mixed with politics. Probably Ismailov didn't
take into account the biased behavior towards Armenian sportsmen
during previous tournaments in Azerbaijan. The tournaments of previous
years prove the opposite. The wrestling tournament in 2007 hosted in
Baku shows the real `hospitality' of Azerbaijan. Though Armenia like
other countries was making all the needed payments Armenian delegates
were settled in cheap hotel which was naturally left psychological
impact on Armenians. Besides one can not overlook the referees biased
and venal attitude of the judges which was of course unacceptable for
Armenian side.
