YEREVAN, JANUARY 19, ARMENPRESS: Security of Armenian chess players
during 2016 Chess Olympics in Azerbaijan must be ensured by Baku. This
is dictated by FIDE Statutes. Armenpress quoted Kirsan Ilyumzhinov as
saying on January 19, in Tsakhkadzor. The main principal of FIDE is
that all we are a big family having nothing to do with economic or
political issues.
`I am well aware of Armenian relations with Turkey and Azerbaijan,
therefore they must not become an obstacle for Armenian chess players
for proving for one more time they are the best,’ FIDE President said.
Ilyumzhinov reminded the victory of Armenian chess players in Istanbul
which proved best minds of Armenia are more intelligent than Turks or
others.
`If other Armenian sportsmen may participate in championships in Baku,
why Armenian grandmasters cannot?’ Kirsan Ilyumzhinov noted.
First FIDE Vice President George Macropolus underlined that Baku had
to create an atmosphere in which Armenian chess players will have all
conditions needed to win gold medal. `Gold medals of Baku are missing
in the collection of medals of Armenian chess players and they must be
ready for it,’ Macropolus said.
FIDE President Kirsan Ilyumzhinov, 23 FIDE members and representatives
of chess federation of more than 20 countries are currently in Armenia
in order to participate in the Presidential Board Meeting of World
Chess Federation taking place in Tsakhkadzor.
