Armenian provocation took place at the European weightlifting championship held in Yerevan.
Report informs, referring to Oxu.Az that before our athletes had a chance to participate in the competition, our neighbors showed their true colors at the opening of the championship - one of the organizers of the tournament, Aram Nikolyan, set the Azerbaijani flag on fire.
When we were waiting for the confirmation of the participation of our weightlifters in the championship, the Armenian side promised their full safety.
In the document received by Oxu.Az, sent by Armenia to the Secretary General of the European Weightlifting Federation, Milan Mihajlovic, and signed by the Head of the Office of the Prime Minister of Armenia, Arayik Harutyunyan, full safety was promised to Azerbaijani athletes.
The document states:
"...In addition, we express our readiness to provide all the special security measures as required by the Azerbaijan Weightlifting Federation, namely:
