/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Following Turkey vs. Armenia qualification match
which ended 2:0, Football Federation President Ruben Hayrapetyan said
he didn’t accuse Armenian team’s chief coach Vardan Minasyan.

"I don’t blame Minasyan since match was taking place on Turkish
ground, and there was serious pressure on our players. All in all,
my impression is not bad, considering that our sportsmen did not
manage to recover themselves after match vs. Spanish team," he said.

Hayrapetyan also noted that Federation was looking for a new coach
and stressed the importance of focusing accent on the development of
youth football.

"We have a very promising generation of young soccer players who can
strengthen our national team, making it competitive," he added
