Ruben Hairapetyan, president of Armenian Football Federation and Vardan Minasyan, coach of the Armenian national team held a press conference on February 26.

Armenia are getting prepared to a friendly match with Belarus to be held on March 3 in Antalya. The coach listed the players included in the national team, but Ruben Hairapetyan said that participation of some players is questioned.

''The goalkeeper Gevorg Kasparov said that he wouldn’t be able to come to Yerevan because of headaches. Arthur Edigaryan and Robert Arzumanyan’s arrival is questioned, too,” Hairapetyan mentioned.

According to the president, Federation fails to contact Karamanyan brothers. “I would like to mention that if they continue to misbehave and miss the team practice session, they’ll be excluded from the National Football Team,” he said.

Henrik Mkhitaryan, playing for FC Metallurg (Ukraine), was not included in the Armenian national team, either. “I allowed him to be off, as his team would be having a tough game in the Ukrainian Premier League,” Mr. Hairapetyan added.
