Armenia’s Greco-Roman wrestling team is currently in a training camp under the guidance of head coach Armen Babalaryan in Olympavan. The camp started on July 18 and is expected to end on July 28.

Babalaryan has told Mediamax Sport that Armenia will be represented in the tournament by Tigran Minasyan (55kg), Ararat Manucharyan (60kg), Hrachya Poghosyan (63kg), Ashot Kirakosyan (67kg), Malkhas Amoyan (72kg), Erik Eloyan (82kg), Hakob Baghdasaryan (87kg) and Davit Ovasapyan (130kg).

“The boys are in a competitive mood, and what matters the most, we are injury-free. We are working hard now to get the athletes in the best form by the start of the tournament,” said the coach.

The freestyle team will also take 8 athletes to Rome.

Emil Lazarian: “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
