Coach Melikyan and the Armenian footballers are not to blame, the culprits are Nikol's teammates in the federation: Sharmazanov

Not only did they hand over Artsakh and are destroying Armenia, but they are also "cursing the father" of Armenian football, wrote Eduard Sharmazanov, a member of the RPA Executive Body.

“During Serge's tenure, the Armenian national team was ranked 38th in the world and was beating Denmark and Slovakia 4-0 away.

In Yerevan, we were beating Macedonia 4-1 and Slovakia 3-1, and we were playing a draw with Portugal (only by luck did Portugal win 3-2).

During Serzh's time, football had an owner: Ruben Hayrapetyan, a devotee of Armenian football.

And during Nikol's time, neither the country nor Armenian football had an owner.

Coach Melikyan and the Armenian footballers are not to blame, the culprits are Nikol's teammates in the federation, who destroyed the achievements of a decade."
