Pashik Alaverdyan: This is the biggest blow to our state and to Armenian weightlifting

"This is the biggest blow to our state, to the country’s leadership, to Armenian weightlifting and to sport. All of this is definitely because of personal issues. To the federation I say: I too am grateful to you that I’ve ‘gotten rid of you.’”
This is how Pashik Alaverdyan commented on his dismissal from the post of head coach of the Armenian weightlifting team in an interview with a NEWS.am Sport correspondent.
