Yerevan, 4 September: If the logo of the Armenian Football Federation
[AFF] was changed not under pressure from Turkey [but under the
influence of a domestic factor], then this is simply discreditable
for us, Armen Rustamyan, MP and member of the board of the Armenian
Revolutionary Federation – Dashnaktsutyun [ARFD], told a news
conference held at the National Press Club today.
An official presentation of the AFF’s new logo was held on 2
September. The image of Mount Ararat [symbol of Armenia] was removed
from the logo.
Rustamyan said that the ARFD would return to this issue after the
Armenia-Turkey football match [on 6 September]. "Those who made this
change made a great mistake," the MP said.
