Ukrainian pop star promises to sing Shakhtar anthem in Armenian

PanARMENIAN.Net - Shakhtar midfielder Henrikh Mkhitaryan is en route to a goalscoring record in the Ukrainian league. Should two more goals arrive, the Armenian will go down in history as a player who has netted the highest number of goals in the competition in a single season.

Ukrainian pop star Gaitana, the author of the hit Shakhtar - Champion! decided to support her favourite team and Henrikh personally. Gaitana promised to sing Shakhtar anthem in the Armenian language if Mkhitaryan scores 25 goals in the current championship.

“I am a Shakhtar fan - the best team of the Ukrainian championship. I want to support the Pitmen in the last games of the season, and especially Henrikh Mkhitaryan,” Gaitana said. “He has a difficult task on his shoulders. I think the Shakhtar anthem will sound beautiful in Armenian.”

Gaitana is confident that the promise will be a good incentive for Henrikh. Mkhitaryan can make next steps towards a record next Saturday in the home match against Zorya Lugansk, Shakhtar official website reported.
