President of the Football Federation of Armenia Ruben Hayrapetyan has dismissed rumors about “selling” Armenia-Russia EURO 2012 qualifier.

“We have a strong national team. Our players are unified and are eager for new victories. I am confident of honesty of our team. But there are people who want to defame our country,” Hayrapetyan said.

He also emphasized that international organizations, specifically FIFA and UEFA, launch investigations into information of the kind, what can damage development of Armenian football.

“Russians are strong and they do not need to “buy” any match. The matter is that there are people who want to create tensions among our players, what can lead to mistakes during the match,” Hayrapetyan said.
