The children of Artsakh have refused to provide a visa to leave for the European Karate Championship

Armlur.am received an alarm that the children of Artsakh were rejected by the Lithuanian embassy to provide a visa based on the 070 Artsakh code.

In this regard, the President of the "Return" NGO Armen Petrosyan expressed details to the media.

"The European Championship of Kyokushin Karate is scheduled for May 1-3. We have submitted preliminary applications. There are 7 children from Artsakh, 5 boys and 2 girls in the Armenian national team.

I would like to note that these children were involved in the Armenian Federation of the Federation of Armenia only after attracting prizes in the Armenian championship. The children were gladly involved in the Armenian Federation of the Federation and that they have the opportunity to participate in the European Championship, "said coach Petrosyan.

According to him, based on the initial application, the Lithuanian Embassy in Armenia rejected the children of Artsakh, noting that the embassy cannot allow it.

"The Lithuanian embassy has rejected us. The embassy explained that they cannot be allowed, because there is an agreement between Armenia and the EU countries. According to the agreement, people with 070 code passports cannot visit European countries. Based on all this, I applied to the RA MFA. They also said the same answer. According to France and Germany, only France and Germany may allow the rest of the countries, especially the Baltic states, "said the coach.

Armen Petrosyan sees the problem elsewhere.

"Some of these children, the same number of children with the same 070 code, took part in the European Championships in Lisbon, took various tournaments and prizes.

It turns out that everything is in the hands of the RA government. If they did not resist this issue, there would be no problem with 070 code, as I emphasize many of these children with the same 070 categories, "said Armen Petrosyan," he said. " I called for more to work, never be broken, not to be discouraged and not mentally not to break.

The Kyokushi Karate Championship will take place on April 27, which will also participate in the 070 codes, which, regardless of everything,, regardless of everything, we continue our training, and keeps our conviction that nothing can break us. "
