The victory of the Armenian men’s chess national at the 40th World Chess Olympiad almost passed by the Turkish media outlets, except for the Sabah.

Turkish media outlets simply mentioned the word Armenia when stating the winner and that is all. While when the Russian women’s chess national won, many Turkish journalists approached and took interviews, but no Turkish journalist approached to the Armenian national.

Opposed to all the Turkish media, the Sabah newspaper spoke about Armenia’s victory in details and also touched upon the world No. 2 strongest player Levon Aronian.

‘Armenians registered checkmate in the chess’ article by the Sabah journalist Bilge Eser stated that Armenia, Russia and China were playing equal, however the victory over Hungary awarded the Armenian national with the first place.
