ArmInfo. Minister of Youth and Sports of Azerbaijan Azad Rahimov has
expressed his opinion concerning the participation of Armenian
sportsmen in the European wrestling championships and the world boxing
and fencing championships to be held in Baku.
Azerisport.com quotes Rahimov as saying that, when last year he
attended the European judo championships in Yerevan, the parties
agreed to prepare a kind of letter of guarantee ensuring the security
of Azeri sportsmen in competitions held in Armenia and vice versa. So,
if Armenians wish to take part in the Baku tournaments, they will be
given no additional guarantees. The local mass media will have no
problems with communicating with the Armenian sportsmen and delegates.
