Azerbaijan, Baku / Тrend corr Z. Safarov / The Armenian anthem will not be sounded in Baku, the Secretary General of the Azerbaijani National Wrestling Federation, Javid Gurbanov, stated at a press conference to RIA-Novosti news agency dedicated to the upcoming World Wrestling Championships.
He noted that the Armenian national team is too weak to claim high ranks in the approaching competition. "In the European Championship in Sofia, the Armenian team won one the bronze medal. Therefore I do not think they believe to gain anything in Baku. Moreover, the struggle will be held not only for prizes, but also licenses for the Olympic Games," Gurbanov noted.
He added that all participants of the competition, including the Armenian team, will be secure during their stay in Azerbaijan.
