He said this on his Facebook account, Offsideplus.az reports.
Ibrahimov announced the end of his 15-year Qarabag career:
"My 15-year" Karabakh "adventure is over," he posted on Facebook... "The weight of this sentence is like the weight of half of my life in the blink of an eye. But the end of every beginning is inevitable. And 15 years later, I have to force my fingers to write, shaking with the years that have passed. Because finding the strength to write the hardest message of my life, to express the swallowing of those words, was as indescribable as the leakage of memories in every drop.
15 years..15 years..15 years..This is not a job, career, term of office..15 years is not a job concept. 15 years of dreams, misery, misfortune .. The love you fought for, the love you dreamed of, it worked ..
At the age of 22, "Karabakh" began its search for someone who could write about sports and speak English. At that time, in a 2-room apartment, he was more of a native of the region of the same name than the Karabakh Football Club. Champions, European Cups, the Champions League was a cold mirage in the hot corner of our dreams.
Gradually, "Karabakh" grew (walked) ... As he fell, sometimes he began to take small but sure steps to realize his dream and then to realize it, first learning, including the pain of stones thrown at his feet.
I was there too, sometimes with him, sometimes with him "Karabakh". But because I was not in you, "Karabakh" was incredibly capable.
When Karabakh set out on this path, it enlarged its dream with confidence and began to walk with conviction. He was so convinced that when the championship seemed so difficult, he took the microphone from the announcer's hand and turned the adventure "Come on, our fans, the Champions League is waiting for you" into a celebration of courage.
..And this manifestation of courage was the championships, trophies, Euroleague and Champions League, 114 Eurocup games ..
..These 15 years of "Karabakh" have brought me incredible values .. There is so much meaningful things that I have learned and gained from the president of the club to the most ordinary employee .. It will not be enough to express my respect and gratitude to each of them..one name I can do injustice to anyone if you smoke .. But I bow before every bit of a person who works for me in "Karabakh" FC ..
These 15 years have brought incredible friends and people. Sometimes, they have shown the support and respect of people I have never met. It has shown that if you put your life, blood and love into something, success becomes a warm smile between you and people.
And finally ... The biggest factor that turns my tears into a thirst for pride! During the 15 years of my "Karabakh", my name was not mentioned in such things as eating, looting and robbery. I have proudly tried to carry the sense of conscience and morality with Karabakh for 15 years. And, thank God, the reason I left Karabakh was not to plunder or plunder but to oppose those who protested against the belief that "Karabakh is Azerbaijan" and not to remain silent about it. Perhaps the best contribution to my 15 years was to shout at the oppression of Azerbaijan (s) for 200 years, which led to my resignation.
This is not the end of the beginning..The real values never end .. I say to everyone who can write, see and hear:
"Make your rights lawful" ...
Whatever I have the right to be halal ... "
It should be noted that Nurlan Ibrahimov was punished by UEFA for sharing on social networks after the attack on the civilian population by Armenians during the Patriotic War. He was banned from football for life by the continental football body.
