/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Azerbaijan National Olympic Committee Vice President,
Khazar Isaev comments on Armenian NOC President Gagik Tsaroukyan’s
visit to Stepanakert. "I’m unaware any state named Nagorno Karabakh
Republic. I consider it absurd that Tsaroukyan visits Stepanakert to
conduct negotiations on sports school construction for Armenians to
train Olympic champions."
This fact contradicts RA President Serzh Sargsyan’s statement about
Armenia has no connection with the Nagorno Karabakh Republic.
If that’s true, investing in sports development in Stepanakert and
promotion of Olympic movement in the region is pure chauvinism,"
Azeripost quoted Isaev as saying.
During his visit to Stepanakert, a delegation headed by Armenian
National Olympic Committee President, NA MP and Prosperous Armenia
Party Leader Gagik Tsaroukyan signed an agreement for sports school
construction.
New sports school construction will be launched on a territory adjacent
to Sports and Health complex.
Annual competitions between the sportsmen of Armenia and Nagorno
Karabakh are planned.
