Stepanyan’s coach Armen Gyozalyan told Mediamax Sport that the tournament will take place in Portugal on December 15-17 and offer qualification points for the World championship.

“Edgar ranks at 25 now. If he performs well and earns points in Anadia, if we can reach 1100 points, we’ll be able to breathe freely. I have to note, we’ve never been this close to qualifying for the World championship,” said Gyozalyan.

Stepanyan remarked his training is going well and he works hard to succeed again. “The silver medal I won in the World Cup is very motivational. I keep working to gain points, as I have a huge desire to compete in the World championship,” stated the athlete.

“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
