The NEWS.am correspondent Andranik Ispiryan was present at the stadium and told of the “hospitable” reception Armenian journalists had. “As there were no Armenian flags at the stadium, the journalists waved flag at the press box. One of the officials approached us and stated that Armenian flag cannot be waved. I explained that as there is no Armenian flags so far, as Armenians we have to stream the flag being fans of teams,” the reporter says, adding that the official threatened he would have problems with police.
