Azerbaijani Media Statement That Armenian Grand Master Levon Aronyan

AZERBAIJANI MEDIA STATEMENT THAT ARMENIAN GRAND MASTER LEVON ARONYAN REFUSED TO PARTICIPATE IN THE NEXT YEAR’S WORLD CHESS TOURNAMENT IN BAKU DOES NOT CORRESPOND TO REALITY

YEREVAN, SEPTEMBER 21, ARMENPRESS: Azerbaijani media statement that
Armenian grand master Levon Aronyan refused to participate in the next
year’s world chess tournament in Baku does not correspond to reality.

Azerbaijani APA news agency’s statement says that is the reason why
during the regular congress in Calitea FIDE decided to divide the
tournament between two towns.

Representative of the Armenian Chess Federation Gagik Hovhannissyan
told Armenpress that the reality is presented by the Azerbaijani side
in completely other way. "First of all the tournament will take place
in a year and from the beginning it was clear that it will take place
in two different towns. One of the towns is known – it is Baku and
the second one is not yet decided and Aronyan is naturally included
among the chess players who will play in the second town. No issue
on refusing to take part in the tournament was forwarded and Levon
Aronyan did not refuse from anything," Hovhannissyan said.

Emil Lazarian: “I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
