Gor Azizyan, a member of Shara Bullet’s coaching team, has arrived in Baku ahead of the UFC event that will take place in the capital of Azerbaijan.
For the Armenian specialist, this trip became one of the rare cases of an Armenian visiting Azerbaijan on a private visit. According to Azizyan, he did not face any serious problems during his stay in Baku.
The coach said he had encountered negative comments and ill-wishers, but added that he treats this with understanding. Azizyan stressed that he does not believe his visit was something wrong and called on people to communicate more with each other.
The Armenian coach also gave an interview to one of the Azerbaijani bloggers and described himself as the first Armenian to give an interview in Azerbaijan.
“I don’t think I did anything wrong. Nations should communicate with each other,” Gor Azizyan said.
Shara Bullet Magomedov is set to face Brazil’s Michel Pereira at the UFC event in Baku. The tournament will take place on Saturday, June 27.
