Yerevan’s Ararat-Armenia is out of the Europa League qualifying round after losing the second leg match to Luxembourg Dudelange on Thursday. The Armenian team lost the match on penalties after a 3-3 on the aggregate of two games. Dudelange came from behind scoring two goals in the second half. The only goal for the Armenian side was scored by Melison Lima on the 24th minutes.

The penalty shoot-out ended 5-4 with Dudelange securing its place in the group stage of the competition for the second consecutive year.

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
