In the elections of the Executive Committee for AIBA International Boxing Association to be held in November, Artur Gevorgyan, NA MP, also the Head of the Armenian Boxing Federation, among his main competitors sees the candidates of oil-dollar countries. “These countries tend to have their own representatives. For example, Azerbaijan that has its man since last elections again charms everyone with its financial leverage, working to be re-elected again in the executive committee. We counterbalance our knowledge, dignity and reputation to oil dollars,” says ABF President.
To the question of what the chances are, Mr. Gevorgyan replied, “It is going to be difficult elections. 260 countries will vote. All candidates have presented CVs. Me, too. I also study the biographies of the others to orient to whom I will vote for. Unlike many other, I am from sports, moreover, from boxing. In fact, both, amateur and professional, and I can see how to harmonize them in AIBA, to combine amateur and professional boxing. I think it is necessary for them. Mr. Wu Ching-kuo highlights this during our meeting.”
