/PanARMENIAN.Net/ A regular round of talks on the venue of Armenian
and Azerbaijan football teams within EURO 2008 qualifying games proved
fruitless. During a special UEFA meeting in Cardiff, Azerbaijan kept on
insisting on neutral ground (Ukraine has already issued an invitation)
while Armenia pressed for meetings in Baku and Yerevan. According to
the schedule in Group A, September 8 the teams are to meet in Armenia
and September 12 in Azerbaijan. Both teams are outsiders of the Group
with Polish, Portuguese, Serbian and Finnish teams in the lead. The
final decision is supposed to be taken April 18 during a sitting of
the UEFA executive committee, ITAR-TASS reports.
