    All the candidates for the presidency of Peñarol would refuse a possible sponsorship of Azerbaijan

    A day before the elections of the most important club in Uruguay, all
    the candidates for the presidency of Peñarol announced that they would
    refuse a possible sponsorship of Azerbaijan.

    According to the Armenian National Committee of Uruguay ( Link ->
    http://www.causaarmenia.org/?p=577 ) , despite their differences all
    the candidates agree that the discriminatory conditions that
    Azerbaijan proposed to the Argentine club San Lorenzo in mid-year are
    unacceptable. In July,

    Prensa Armenia reported
    http://www.prensaarmenia.com.ar/2014/07/argentine-football-club-rejects.html
    that one of the conditions that the Azeri officials imposed on San
    Lorenzo was that "there couldn't be ethnic Armenians" in future
    executive committees of the club in exchange for a lucrative contract
    with the club. The issue gained importance in Peñarol since some of
    the candidates are members of the Armenian community.

    The current president of Peñarol seeking for a re-election Juan Pedro
    Damiani said that in the event of a similar proposal "we will act the
    same way as San Lorenzo" and stated that "it strikes me that Atletico
    Madrid could accept this sponsor." Marcelo Areco, another candidate,
    described as "unfortunate and shameful" the conditions imposed by
    Azerbaijan to San Lorenzo, Ricardo Rachetti described as "outrageous"
    any proposal that intended to discriminate any person, Ignacio Ruglio
    said that "regardless of the size of the organization making the
    offer, no one can impose discriminative conditions" and finally Edgar
    Welker, current Vice President of the club, said that "accepting
    conditions of this nature would be really unfortunate."
