For Armenia the EURO 2012 qualifying found was a failure, President
of the Football Federation of Armenia Ruben Hayrapetyan said in an
interview to the Public Television of Armenia.
“Just remember how many points we had lost before Ireland. We lost
two points in Skopje. We had no right not to beat Russia in Yerevan
and had no right to lose to Ireland at home. So, we must not shift
the blame onto the referee. With such players we had no right not to
qualify for the final tournament. We must analyze all of our mistakes
and be more efficient during the next qualifier,” Hayrapetyan said.
He said that goalkeeper Roman Berezovsky and captain Sarkis Hovsepyan
will continue to play for Armenia.
The same is for coach Vardan Minasyan. “As long as I am President
of the Football Federation of Armenia I will cooperate only with
Minasyan,” Hayrapetyan said.
