AZERBAIJAN HASN’T CHANGED ITS STANCE
[02:18 pm] 09 April, 2007
The venue of the Armenia-Azerbaijan football meeting will likely be
known on April 18, Faud Asadov, the head of the Football Federation
Association of Azerbaijan, reports.
Asadov refuses to make any predictions what influence Mishel Platini,
newly appointed president of the UEFA, will have on the negotiation
process; `You had better ask Platini the question. I spoke to him
before his appointment. I asked Platini how Azerbaijan can secure the
safety of the meeting in case there are millions of refugees in the
country who are eager to see their compatriots.’
Reminder; Michel Platini will host the Armenian and Azeri delegations
in the Swiss city Neon on April 11. The RA delegation will be headed
by Ruben Hairapetyan, President of the Armenian Football Federation,
and executive director Arman Minasyan.
The UEFA Executive Committee will convene a sitting on April 17 in
Cardiff to decide the venue of the meeting.
