Ararat-Armenia, a Yerevan-based club who were founded three years ago, won their second consecutive Armenian league title after beating closest rivals Noah 2-0 on Tuesday, the final day of the season. Ararat finished top with 52 points and will play in the Champions League’s qualifying rounds next season. Second-placed Noah on 48 and Alashkert on 47 will play in the Europa League’s preliminary rounds.

Experienced Dutch winger Furdjel Narsingh, who joined Ararat last year after playing for several teams in the Netherlands, opened the scoring after 16 minutes and Nigerian striker Yusuf Otubanjo doubled the home side’s lead in the closing stages of the first half. On Friday Ararat-Armenia and Noah met in the Armenian Cup final with Noah winning the trophy on penalties.




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
