"Araz-Nakhchivan" club appealed to the UEFA representative regarding the removal of the Armenian flag from the stands during the return match of the III qualifying round of the Conference League against "Omonia" in Cyprus.
Idman.biz reports that this was reported to "Report" by the press service of the Azerbaijani representative.
The club stated that the police were immediately informed about the issue: "The UEFA representative initially said that it was an official flag. In return, we said that Cypriot and Azerbaijani clubs are playing. Why should the flag of another country be in the stands? This is an attempt at provocation. He also agreed. He immediately informed the police about the removal of the flag and the flag was taken away. The representative emphasized that he also noted this in his protocol. We even told the representative about such a possibility at the meeting before the match."
It should be noted that the match ended with a 5:0 victory for the home team. "Araz-Nakhchivan", which lost 4 unanswered goals in Baku, stopped fighting in the UEFA Conference League.
