Armenia will participate in in the inaugural European Games next year,
it was claimed here today by Patrick Hickey, President of the European
Olympic Committees (EOC).
It followed the successful 43rd EOC General Assembly here, in which
the Armenian Olympic Committee took part despite escalating tensions
between the two countries.
The two countries have recently been in renewed conflict over the
Nagorno-Karabakh, a landlocked region in the South Caucasus which lies
within Azerbaijan's internationally recognised borders.
More than 30,000 people were killed and 1.2 million displaced before
Russia brokered a cease-fire in 1994.
