If I play for Armenian national football team in future, I will adopt
dual citizenship – Mikhail Markosov
May 18, 2013
It is yet unknown whether I will stay at Russia’s FC Ufa next season,
Armenian national football squad and Ufa striker Mikhail Markosov, 27,
stated, Gorobzor.ru reports.
`My contract with Ufa expires this year. The negotiations are in
progress; we are trying to find a compromise. I want to play at Ufa,
but nothing is known as of yet.
My mother is Russian, my father is Russian Armenian; he was born here
[in Russia]. Unfortunately, I don’t speak Armenian.
Concerning the Armenian [national football] team, an Armenian
journalist [Vera Martirosyan from NEWS.am Sport] called and
interviewed me. In the past my surname was Markasyants. Several days
after this interview, they called me from the Football Federation of
Armenia, and I agreed to join the national team without hesitation and
headed to the training session of the squad.
Such opportunity is given once in a lifetime. If I play for the
Armenian [national] team in the future, I will adopt dual
citizenship,’ Mikhail Markosov specifically said.
