The Taekwondo Federation of Armenia has issued a statement saying it
is against Armenia’s participation in the European Games to be held
in Baku in June.

“Considering the absence of diplomatic relations between Azerbaijan
and Armenia, the hostile attitude of official Baku towards Armenia
and its people, the ongoing violations along the Line of Contact
and the continuing subversive acts launched by Azerbaijan that have
left many Armenians killed or disabled, we announce that we find our
participation in the Baku European Games inexpedient.

We find our participation in the games also unacceptable given the
fact that Turkey and its junior brother Azerbaijan are organizing fake
theatrical shows on the threshold of the Armenian Genocide Centennial,”
the federation said in the statement.
