    did not take place

    `I regret to say that Azerbaijan-Armenian match did not take place',
    Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe president Rene van
    der Linden was quoted by APA as saying.

    PACE President René van der Linden said UEFA decision on cancelling
    Azerbaijan-Armenian matches was unexpected. PACE persident emphasized
    that sport helps to expand relations between nations. `Sport is too
    interesting field. Sport has power to develop inter-people
    relations'.
    After the draw Azerbaijan wished to hold the matches in neutral zone.
    The other side voted for Baku and Iravan to hold the matches. UEFA
    Executive Committee decided to cancel the matches after meeting in
    Herenven, Netherlands. /APA-Sport/
