    THE AZERBAIJANI CHESS FEDERATION EXPRESSES ITS ANXIETY ABOUT HOLDING
    THE INTERNATIONAL CHESS TOURNAMENT IN NAGORNO-KARABAKH

    YEREVAN, March 10. /ARKA/. The Azerbaijani chess federation expressed
    its anxiety about holding the International Chess Tournament in
    Nagorno-Karabakh, as the President of the Armenian Chess Association,
    Grand Master Smbat Lputyan stated in Stepanakert. `It is very pity
    that the Azerbaijani party so badly reacted at holding the
    International Chess Tournament in Nagorno-Karabakh. It shouldn't' be
    so, since such arrangement is the basis for chess development', he
    said.
    According to the Academy's President, `there is a great basis for
    chess developing in Nagorno-Karabakh, and it would be good if such
    competitions became traditional'.
    The idea of holding the International Chess Tournament in
    Nagorno-Karabakh occurred to the Armenian Chess Academy and the NKR
    Government five months ago.
    The International Chess Tournament is devoted to the 75th anniversary
    since the birth of the 9th World Chess Champion Tigran Petrosyan.
