FIFA has congratulated Henrikh Mkhitrayan on winning his tenth Player of the Year award.

“Being named your country’s footballer of the year 10 times is something you’d see in a comic book… and now on Henrikh Mkhitaryan’s resume at the age of only 31,” FIFA said in a Facebook post.

The Roma midfielder collected 133 votes to be named Armenia’s best footballer of 2020.

FC Astana midfielder Tigran Barseghyan came in second with 79 votes.

MSK Zilina midfielder Vahan Bichakhchyan is third with 25 votes.

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
