"Yesterday, the president of the Football Federation of Armenia, Armen Melikbekyan, issued a statement. Do you think it was a statement of resignation, which was demanded by the First Armenian Front, the fan clubs of the teams and, in general, the fans, or was it a statement of the existing grievances and exhaustive answers to the raised questions? Of course not. Armen Melikbekyan admitted that their 2019-2025 some of the plans included in the strategy were not implemented, and some were partially implemented. Here, Melikbekyan seriously exaggerated. it would be correct to use the wording "overwhelming majority not fulfilled". But that's not even the problem. He accused everyone, except the FFA leadership, of failures in a typical cap style. the culprits are the coronavirus, the 44-day war, the conflict in Ukraine (the latter has not even affected Ukrainian football as much as Armenian football), the foreign exchange market (huh?), clubs, coaches, football players, "opportunists looking for an opportunity to show off", fans and etc. etc. In short, everything and everyone interfered, and here, "the Football Federation of Armenia did everything possible, even impossible, to get good results." For the sake of justice, it should be noted that Melikbekyan also spoke about the "guilt of the FFA leadership", but not in terms of failing the programs, not registering results, not developing football, but because... "it was not possible to completely control the standards of youth football in the clubs, we also did not succeed in fully uniting people concerned about Armenian football." It would be funny if it wasn't so sad. However, it seems that Melikbekyan's "crutites" did not satisfy the fans, and shortly after the announcement, FAF members, as well as "Red Eagles", "Sector 18", "ALFA", "Black Panthers" chanted "Go away, go away". ", "South West Ultras" and representatives of several other fan movements carried out an action in front of the building of the Football Federation of Armenia, demanding the resignation of the FFA president.
