BULGARIA REFUSES TO PAY AZERBAIJAN
March 6
We do not have an agreement with Azerbaijan, stated Borislav Gidikov,
Secretary-General of the Bulgarian Weightlifting Federation.
He noted that Bulgaria is not prepared to pay 380,000 euros to have
Bulgarian weightlifters Boyanka Kostova, Ivana Stoytseva, and Velichko
Cholakov-all of whom compete for the Azerbaijani national team-return
to their country.
"We do not have that much money. In addition, Cholakov said he has no
contract with Azerbaijan, but he was given permission from the former
head of the Bulgarian Weightlifting Federation. This matter will be
discussed during the congress to be convened on April 7 in [Uzbekistan
capital,] Tashkent," Sportal.bg quotes Borislav Gidikov as saying.
