Simonyan: Azerbaijan must let Mkhitaryan in
"If the player is not allowed to participate in the game ..."
Acting President of the RFU Nikita Simonyan commented on the possibility that midfielder of Dortmund "Borussia" Henrik Mkhitaryan may miss the away match with "Gabala" in the group stage of the Europa League, AzVision.Az reports citing Sports.ru.

"If we talk on sports law, Azerbaijan must allow entry of Henrik Mkhitaryan. If the player is not allowed to participate in the game, either Mkhitaryan himself or Football Club should apply to the League.

Azerbaijan does not have any legal grounds to ban football player to play for his club. If Baku will create obstacles, it would be a gross violation of the law. Non-admission of Mkhitaryan to this match for political reasons is illogical," Simonyan said.
