Politics resonate in sports as well, Novruz Mammadov, assistant to Azerbaijan’s president for foreign policy issues, department head, tweeted Oct. 19.

Mammadov was talking about the recent game of Azerbaijan's "Qarabag" football club.

Within the group stage of the UEFA Champions League,"Qarabag" met with the Spanish Atletico Madrid at the Baku Olympic Stadium. The game ended in a draw (0:0).

According to Mammadov, the Azerbaijani team couldn't play their game due to unfair officiating.

"Several times they were unjustifiably punished. Qarabagh was stripped of a penalty, while its opponent's foul play was condoned," he said.
