October 14, the fans of Armenians Union of Russia will gather in Moscow cultural center to support Armenian and Russian national teams playing against Turkey and Azerbaijan respectively. “I consider the coincidence is not a mere chance,” said the Union Vice-President Levon Mukanyan.

“Presently we follow the developments of RA President’s initiative on normalization relations with Turkey, known as ‘football diplomacy’. However, we regret that Turkey pressurized by Azerbaijan is sabotaging the talks and is displaying quite inadequate reaction against Nagorno-Karabakh’s (NKR) legal right on independence. Probably it happens as Azerbaijan would not like to face another worthy opponent — NKR national team at the next World Cup. Tonight Armenians of Russia will support Armenian football players. We believe in Russia’s success, as well as in Armenia’s victory.”
