Their first big demonstration took place in December of 2018, during the Arsenal-Qarabag game in Europa League group stage. Sergey Adamyan, wearing a t-shirt with Armenian Karabakh war hero Monte Melkonyan, ran onto the pitch with the flag of Artsakh (the disputed region of Nagorno-Karabakh that Armenia and Azerbaijan warred over for several years in the 1990s – Sport.mediamax.am).
Mediamax Sport has contacted Adamyan, who drew the attention of the football world to Artsakh again just 2 days ago, during the Dudelange-Qarabag game. Adamyan has told about the idea and his resolve to keep making this kind of demonstration.
I don’t have much experience with drones, which is why I asked for help my friend Vardan, a big patriot, who agreed at once. He is the hero in this situation, not me.
I bought the drone a few days before the Dudelange-Qarabag game, we tested it and then traveled to Luxembourg. There were 4 of us: me, the drone expert, the guy who made the video, and the guy managing the phone connection. Two of us were inside the stadium and two others – outside.
We waited for the Azerbaijani club to score to make a stronger impression with our demonstration.
I don’t want to be famous. My goal is to be useful to my country and defend its honor. I want the whole world to know that Artsakh does not belong to Azerbaijan.
Monte [Melkonyan] used to say that we should carry on his cause instead of praising him. And we do carry on.
