Grandmaster (GM) Levon Aronian, who plays first board for the

and who is third in the World Chess Federation (FIDE) rankings, was
photographed wearing the jersey of Armenian national football team
and Ukraine’s FC Shakhtar Donetsk midfielder Henrikh Mkhitaryan,
and he posted the photo on his Twitter account.

Earlier, Aronian had told NEWS.am Sport that he is very happy with
Mkhitaryan’s accomplishments and he would like to see him stronger
leagues.

“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
