Armenian shooters Alla Poghosyan and Hrachik Babayan performed in the mixed team 10m air rifle event on Saturday on the second day of the 2nd European Games Belarusian capital Minsk.

As the National Olympic Committee reported, 16 teams take part in each stage of this event.
Poghosyan and Babayan registered 620.0 points in the first stage placing 12th and failing to overcome the qualification round. In the second stage our athletes came 23rd.

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
