The selection matches of the European championship-2008 between
Azerbaijan and Armenia is probable not to be held.
Lars-Christer Olsson, the Managing Director of UEFA, noted if the
countries did not manage to come to agreement on the place of the
matches, the matches would take place in neutral stadium or would not
be held at all, Trend reports. “If the country states that it isn’t
ready to ensure safety, UEFA is powerless,” Olsson said during his
official visit to Yerevan.
The same time UEFA offered to help in the determination of the place
for organization of the matches to be held in September 2007. “We
understand there is a problem with safety of holding the matches in
Yerevan and Baku,” he stressed.
