YEREVAN, NOVEMBER 27, ARMENPRESS: FIDE Chairman Kirsan Ilyumzhinov has
suggested organizing chess meeting in Nagorno-Karabakh Republic. As
reports Armenpress, this was noted in Ilyumzhinov’s interview with
itogi.ru.
“Another idea of mine is about establishing peace on Arab-Israeli
border. It is supposed to install thousand chess boards for children
there. I have already discussed this idea with Palestinian leader
Mahmoud Abbas and he is completely for it. It seems that Israeli
government is also not against it. It remains to be implemented. It
would be reasonable to implement the same idea in NKR for Armenian
and Azerbaijani children” Ilyumzhinov said.
Chairman of FIDE has underlined that chess has an important peaceful
mission.
