AZERBAIJAN CANNOT PUT UP WITH THE UEFA DECISION
Although the UEFA has announced many times that the football matches between Armenia and Azerbaijan must take place in Baku and Yerevan, the Azeri side keeps claiming that it is impossible.
In particular, the Azeri Minister of Sport and Culture Azad Radimov announced that the Armenians are their enemy and that they cannot play with them in Baku. «We cannot allow the Azeri children to take the hands of the Armenian football players and to come to the field. The Armenian side wants to play in Armenia and Azerbaijan, but we will do everything to organize the matches on a neutral field».
By the way, if Azerbaijan refuses to play in Baku, according to the UEFA legislation, they will be registered to have lost the game 0:3
