Azerbaijan guarantees the safety of Armenian sportsmen at the
upcoming World Wrestling Championship in Baku on September 16-23. The
championship will be a licensed Olympic tournament, vice-president
of the National Olympic Committee Chingiz Huseynzade said at a press
conference today.
Azerbaijan will fulfill the requirements of FILA (International
Wrestling Federation) regarding the safety of participants, Huseynzade
said.
Representatives of the IOC and Armenia's Wrestling Federation visited
Baku several months ago, and they were told that Azerbaijan will
provide them with additional safety guarantees.
Armenian has not confirmed its participation in the championship
yet, but refusal on the grounds of safety issues would be unfounded,
Huseynzade said.
FILA published a list of arbiters for the World Wrestling Championship
in Baku, including Armenian representative Samvel Haroutunian.
