Melikbekyan, before the decisive vote, addressed the audience with a speech that surprised many. Contrary to the usual practice, the newly elected president declared that his candidacy was not self-nominated. This move highlighted his intentions to serve the sport rather than personal ambitions. His election has sparked a reaction from the leaders of the Armenian league, particularly from the FC Pyunik.
The leader of FC Pyunik expressed disappointment over the election results. The club’s representatives criticized the process, stating that the elections turned into a formal struggle for chairmanship, with the results of their work and public opinion being largely ignored. Despite their dissatisfaction, they affirmed their determination to continue fighting for the purity and prosperity of Armenian football.
Another candidate, Ozibilis, also gave a stirring speech during the election. He brought up his experiences of witnessing different football standards in his career and expressed a burning desire to see those high standards implemented in Armenia too. His emphasis on the need for a strong and responsible Federation for the development and progress of Armenian football resonated with many.
