Sports: Mkhitaryan on Roma move: ‘It’s a great opportunity for me’

Panorama, Armenia

Armenian international Henrikh Mkhitaryan joined A.S. Roma from Premier League side Arsenal until 30 June 2020, for a fixed fee of €3 million, the Italian club’s official website reported.

The agreement also includes potential additional payments that could reach a maximum of €100,000 – depending on the meeting of certain performance targets.

“It’s a great opportunity for me to begin a new chapter, with a great club,” said Mkhitaryan.

“I know what this club is all about and I am sure we can achieve great things together.”

Mkhitaryan joins the club after amassing a wealth of European experience, having previously represented the likes of Manchester United, Borussia Dortmund and Shakhtar Donetsk.

Mkhitaryan will wear the No. 77 with the Giallorossi.

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
