Youth and Sports Ministry has suggested Azerbaijan-Armenia matches in the qualifying for 2008 European championship to take place in Austria, Switzerland or Ukraine, Ministry press secretary Rafig Abbasov stated.

He said that the proposals have already been sent to the UEFA.

"Azerbaijan refuses to play against Armenia in Baku and Yerevan. So we have appealed to the EUFA to hold matches in one of these three countries," he said.

Abbasov stated that if UEFA suggests other places as a neutral field, Azerbaijan will discuss the issue, APA reports.
