OFFICIAL STATEMENT

David Shakhbagyan,
General Director of Urartu FC

We do not accept the result of the Armenian Premier League Round 22 match between Urartu and Alashkert, considering it unfair and shaped by serious refereeing mistakes.

We are compelled to publicly express our dissatisfaction with the objectivity and quality of the refereeing.

Refereeing has been and remains one of the most painful and problematic aspects of Armenian football, directly affecting the level, fairness, and credibility of the championship. This match once again became clear evidence of that: we witnessed an unacceptable standard of refereeing that disrupted the natural flow of the game and the fundamental principles of fair competition.

It is unacceptable that the Football Federation of Armenia does not demonstrate sufficient consistency in improving the refereeing system. Obvious mistakes go unpunished, creating a deepening atmosphere of distrust and injustice.

Considering that the end of the season is approaching, there are serious grounds to believe that such disgraceful refereeing errors may influence the final standings, putting the fairness and transparency of the competition at risk.

We demand:
immediate improvement in the quality of refereeing,
clear accountability mechanisms,
and equal, impartial treatment of all teams.

Justice cannot be selective.
The winner must be decided on the pitch, not by refereeing mistakes.
