A1 Plus reports that the Armenian handball team was defeated by its Azerbaijani opponents 41 points to 15 in Tbilisi. However, that’s not what is interesting about this story. Instead, after Armenian wrestlers recently competed in Baku, it’s encouraging to see that both sides are playing against each other in some sporting competitions at least. Of course, there was one recent notable exception.

First off that exception was about the most unjust ruling I’ve ever heard. What kind of an organization thinks it’s a good idea to punish both sides for one side’s obstinance?
I think the reason Azerbaijan was so against that particular game was because they knew they’d probably lose both at home and in Armenia. What a blow to the national psyche that’d be. Ain’t no 41-15 victory there.

Paul, I’d say that Armenia was only consturctive to a certain extent with their willingness to host both games in Yerevan and Baku. I think they knew that Bau wouldn’t agree to that anyway. The Armenian side could have agreed to play on neutral ground. Both sides were stubborn.
