FC Pyunik, in representing their nominee Arsen Agajanyan, stated that he fully meets all the criteria for the FFA president. He is a major businessman, having lived in Russia and Cyprus for many years, has made systemic changes in all fields he managed, and commands respect among business circles in several countries. Agajanyan has implemented and continues to engage in numerous educational, social, and sports projects in Armenia or participates in such projects.

According to the announcement, Agajanyan has contributed to the development of football in Armenian communities for years. He is the founder and sponsor of the Cyprus Ararat football club and is a friend and sponsor of various youth football clubs operating in different regions of Russia.

It is worth recalling that on November 21, FFA President Arthur Vanetsyan resigned from his post.
