If not to be angry, then at least one can be surprised at what Ruben Hayrapetyan’s opinion is about the involvement of women in sports. This is how Hripsime Khurshudyan, who won a bronze medal in the weightlifting tournament of the London Olympic Games, reacted to the statement of FFA President Ruben Hayrapetyan a few days ago. It should be noted that FFA President Ruben Hayrapetyan said that an Armenian man will not take his daughter to football.
“I think that as a bronze medal winner of the Olympic Games, I have the right to express my opinion about the statement made by the president of the football federation, Ruben Hayrapetyan.
When the whole world stands up and greets us, when the Armenian national anthem is played and the flag of our homeland is raised, when the entire Armenian people are happy with our achievements, I am sure that this also contributes to the development of this sport in Armenia, which is understandable. everyone, perhaps, except him. And I announce that after getting married and having my miracle baby, I will soon return to active sports and prove that an Armenian girl, an Armenian woman, can and will reach great sports heights,” wrote Hripsime Khurshudyan on her Facebook page.
It should be noted that US Ambassador to Armenia John Heffer also responded to this statement of the FFA President, writing that he is ready to debate on this issue.
