"We would like to be in the situation of Ajax. There, the leadership can say that sports and politics are different. In our case, it is impossible."
Offsideplus.az reports that Qarabag head coach Gurban Gurbanov noted when talking to "volkskrant.nl".
The 49-year-old specialist spoke about the heroism of the team's former captain and head coach Allahverdi Bagirov in the First Karabakh War: "He was a symbol of the club and one of the leaders in the fight against the enemy.
Gurbanov said Karabakh is now the most popular team in Azerbaijan. "After the war, most Karabakh fans live in different parts of the country as IDPs. That is why we do not have more than 3,000 fans in our stands in Baku. However, Karabakh is the most popular club in the country." ".
