YEREVAN, OCTOBER 16, NOYAN TAPAN. FIFA President Sepp Blatter and UEFA President Michel Platini were on a two-day visit to Armenia. Prior to leaving our country, they gave a joint press conference with the President of the Armenian Football Federation Ruben Hayrapetian, during which they said that they had participated in the ceremony of laying the foundation stone of the Children's and Youth Sport School - Technical Cemter of National Teams in the area adjacent to Acharian Street in Yerevan and visited the reconstructed complex of Banants Football Club. In response to the question about two failed matches between the national teams of Armenia and Azerbaijan under Euro 2008 program, M.
