There is no need to worry in this regard. There is Farid Hagverdiyev, who will defend the rights of clubs, footballers, in short, those working in the field of sports . To be honest, we didn't know him very well. We just knew the general information about it. So, Mr. Farid offsideplus.az - a interview that he has knowledge of, and continued answering questions.
(In the previous article - "We are friends with the lawyer of PSG" - FARID HAGVERDIYEV )
- The case of Qarabag's press secretary Nurlan Ibrahimov remains open. I wonder if Qarabag can be punished for this in the final decision to be made in the future?
- The sentence given to Nurlan Ibrahimov disappointed us all as our compatriots. Nobody expected him to be punished so severely. The sentence is an initial sentence, the final decision has not yet been made. The worst and most undesirable thing is that the sentence imposed on Nurlan Ibrahimov should remain in force, and an additional fine should be imposed. It can be up to 100 thousand euros. However, Nurlan Ibrahimov has the right to appeal the sentence to UEFA itself and then to the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAC) in Switzerland. Since the IAM is recognized as a kind of body that restores justice, there are grounds to organize Nurlan Ibrahimov's defense. Given that the information about Nurlan Ibrahimov is also read by our hated neighbors, I do not want to state all those grounds and make them, UEFA, more prepared for the next process. As an example, I can say that given the principle of "inadmissibility of excessive punishment in relation to the crime", the subsequent deletion of the known status of Nurlan Ibrahimov and other points that I did not disclose, it is possible to organize his defense in UEFA and IAM. As for the responsibility of Qarabag, at present this disciplinary case is conducted only against Nurlan Ibrahimov, and the punishment of "Karabakh" is not on the agenda. However, if it is decided to impose an unwanted fine, then "Karabakh" will be responsible for the fine together with Nurlan Ibrahimov. Let's hope that the sentence given to Nurlan Ibrahimov will be reduced and Nurlan Bey will return to work.

- Has anyone from AFFA been interested in you during these years?
- I want to say that in 2019, by the decision of the Executive Committee of AFFA, I was elected on a voluntary basis as a member of the controversial branch of AFFA - the Status and Transfer Committee of Players. This committee is a body that resolves disputes between various football subjects. For this reason, we are in close contact with AFFA staff. We exchange views on various important issues, cooperate with each other while reviewing the work of the committee.
- In the last few years we have seen the provocation of the Armenians. In Luxembourg, a flag was hoisted at the stadium by a drone, and in England, a fan entered the stadium with a flag. In this case, UEFA did not impose severe sanctions. Would it be possible to punish the other side (the host club or the saboteur himself) by following the issue?
- As you stressed, the Armenians have always resorted to various provocations because they could not digest the success of Qarabag. According to UEFA's safety rules, each association and club must jointly provide security during the games. If this is not provided, there are different penalties depending on the act. As for your question, I can say that UEFA should be under constant pressure in this regard, we should not be satisfied with just one letter or statement, we should apply to all possible legal procedures. We have all seen how principled the Armenians are in the case of Nurlan Ibrahimov and the constant pressure on UEFA on social networks. For this reason, I think that in the face of such provocations, we, without a break,
- Azerbaijani footballers prefer to remain silent in case of early termination of their contracts from time to time. Why is that?
- Thank you for a very relevant and interesting question. There are several reasons for this. First of all, I think that the lack of legal awareness, knowledge in this area and the lack of information among the players about the bodies that resolve the dispute. To overcome this, it is important to conduct trainings in this area and introduce them. Although most of our footballers with whom I communicate have heard about the existence of the committee of which I am a member, they do not know that it operates independently of AFFA. In addition, most are unaware of the possibility of appealing the committee's decision to the Swiss-based IAM. Another point, of course, is the amount of the fee for complaints to FIFA, IAM, and the fact that these processes require additional costs. Besides, Doubts and mistrust that the final decision will be in favor of the players are also factors that keep players silent when their rights are violated. One of the things I often hear is that if a player whose rights have been violated complains, he fears that his relationship with management will be damaged, and that other clubs will no longer recognize him as a "problem player" and will not be interested in his service. I think this is an unprofessional approach. I want to tell our players that this approach is wrong and recommend them to use all legal solutions to restore their violated rights. He fears that his relationship with the management will be damaged, and that other clubs will no longer recognize him as a "troubled player" and will not be interested in his service.
