Russian Football Union spokesman: "Armenians were to proud to lose to Azerbaijanis"

22 January 2006 [17:10] - TODAY.AZ
For Igor Vladimirov, a spokesman for the Russian Football Union, Pyunik's withdrawal carries clear political undertones.

"Allegedly they were not provided adequate security, and I know they complained about accommodation and food," Vladimirov said.

"In our opinion, these were simply excuses not to play with the Azerbaijani team. Objectively, in terms of sport, Neftchi was stronger in this tournament, and obviously the Armenians were to proud to lose to Azerbaijanis."
