Azerbaijan concerned about possibility of seeing new Olympic Competitors in Karabakh
Azerbaijan National Olympic Committee Vice President, Khazar Isaev comments on Armenian NOC President Gagik Tsaroukyan's visit to Stepanakert. "I'm unaware any state named Nagorno Karabakh Republic. I consider it absurd that Tsaroukyan visits Stepanakert to conduct negotiations on sports school construction for Armenians to train Olympic champions."

This fact contradicts RA President Serzh Sargsyan's statement about Armenia has no connection with the Nagorno Karabakh Republic.

If that's true, investing in sports development in Stepanakert and promotion of Olympic movement in the region is pure chauvinism," Azeripost quoted Isaev as saying.

During his visit to Stepanakert, a delegation headed by Armenian National Olympic Committee President, NA MP and Prosperous Armenia Party Leader Gagik Tsaroukyan signed an agreement for sports school construction.

New sports school construction will be launched on a territory adjacent to Sports and Health complex.
Annual competitions between the sportsmen of Armenia and Nagorno Karabakh are planned.
