Ruben Hayrapetyan expects Armenian team’s victory in EURO 2012 qualifier vs. Russia

PanARMENIAN.Net - Armenian Football Federation President Ruben Hayrapetyan expects Armenian team to come out victorious in EURO 2012 qualifier against Russia.

As Mr. Hayrapetyan noted, “we don’t care where to play. We always meet a hearty welcome. People of Russia and Armenia have been friends for many centuries. Even if there are any nationalists in Russia, they’re clearly in minority.”

The head of Armenian Football Federation confessed to expecting maximal results from Armenian squad, which, he said, is in no way inferior to Russia.

Commenting on reported bonuses for Armenian team in case of the latter’s victory, Mr. Hayrapetyan said, “no award fees were promised to the team, as they’re playing for their country’s honor, rather than for gain.”

Armenia vs. Russia EURO 2012 qualifier is due June 4 in St. Petersburg , at 7:00 Yerevan time.
