PanARMENIAN.Net - Fans of the Armenian national football team and Shakhtar Donetsk where Henrikh Mkhitaryan is a midfielder will gather in front of the Football Federation of Armenia Monday, June 24, to express displeasure over the situation with Mkhitaryan’s transfer to Liverpool FC.

The organizers also issued an open letter which says that “Mkhitaryan fell a victim to FFA President Ruben Hayrapetyan’s oligarchic system”, which now hampers the player’s transfer to the English club.

“Mkhitaryan can’t fight against Hayrapetyan alone, as the latter always boasts about his personal contribution to the guy’s successful career, fans say.

They also plan to demand Hayrapetyan’s resignation.
