Dear friends, I want to tell you about a decision that was not given to me easily. I thought for a long time and decided to sell the Pyunik football club and leave Armenian professional football.

The main and only reason is the persecution of the leadership of the Football Federation of Armenia, which has been continuing for more than two years.

Unfortunately, the situation has long gone beyond the limits of common sense and professional ethics, turning into a personal confrontation. It causes great harm to the team, fans and our academy, and most importantly, the reputation of Armenian football.

For more than 2 years, the Pyunik football club and I fought against unrestrained behavior, aggression and incompetence of the federation leaders.

In the last 4 years, 5 Premier League teams, 6 major investors, have left Armenian football, declaring the impossibility of working with the incompetent leaders of the federation.

Unfortunately, I have also come to such a conclusion. This is a very painful but well-considered decision for me, because I really don't see any point in working in such an unhealthy atmosphere.

I am sure that there will be people interested in continuing the glorious history of the Pyunik football club, which has not only got great achievements in recent years, but has also become widely known in Armenia and beyond it.

I want to reassure parents and alumni of the Pyunik Academy; I will continue to invest in the children’s and youth academy and all our alumni will continue playing in their age groups.

I am not leaving Armenian sports and will continue to invest, because I think that the development of sports is very important for our country.

I will be ready to return to Armenian football when the leadership of the federation changes and people who will really be interested in the development of football, come.

I would like to thank all those who have been with us for the past 7 years, supported us and rejoiced with our victories. We really achieved historical results and I am proud to have been a part of this big and united family called Pyunik football club.

Thank you.
