Gevorg Kasparov, the goal-keeper of Yerevan "Pyunik" and Armenian
football team, has left for Iran, where he will sign a two-year
contract with the team of "Pas".

"Pas" has a high reputation among the Iranian teams and has got
professional football players, among them Hamlet Mkhitaryan, one of
the half-backs of the Armenian team.

It is already a year Gevorg Kasparov has played in the
Armenian football team as a goal-keeper. He displayed excellent
participation mainly in the qualifying phase of "Euro-2008" during
the Armenia-Belgium, Armenia-Finland meetings. 26-year-old goal-keeper
formerly played in the Armenian Youth and Juvinile teams, as well as
in the club "Zvartnots".

Currently Edgar Gasparyan is the goal-keeper of "Pyunik" but the
heads of the team intend to sign a contract with some skilled foreign
goal-keeper in the nearest future.
