Armenian Greco-Roman wrestler Artur Aleksanyan (97kg) has advanced to the final of the Tokyo Olympics.

He took an impressive 4-1 win over Mohammadhadi Saravi of Iran in the men's Greco-Roman semi-final on Monday.

Aleksanyan will face Russian Musa Evloev in the final.

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
