    Azerbaijan's female basketball team rejected to participation in
    Division C in European championship to be held in Yerevan this summer.

    Executive director of the Azerbaijan Basketball Federation Rustam
    Rustamov told News.Az that the opinions of the basketball players
    and their parents were taken into account while taking the decision.

    "The thing is that in November of last year when we appealed for
    participation in the European championship, we did not know where it
    will be held", said the Federation official. "This January FIBA-Europe
    has decided to hold the contest in Yerevan. Taking into account
    the fact that this is a female team and considering the wishes of
    the basketball players and their parents, it was decided to reject
    participation in the contest in the hostile country".
