Russia club official: No problems with Movsisyan and Ozbiliz

Jevan Cheloyants, who is a member of the FC Spartak Moscow (Russia) Board of Directors, reflected on the matter concerning Armenia national football squad and Spartak players Yura Movsisyan and Aras Ozbiliz.

“As for the situation linked to Ozbiliz, there are no problems with him and Movsisyan,” R-Sport quoted Cheloyants as saying.

As reported earlier, midfielder Aras Ozbiliz had criticized Spartak’s Swiss Turkish manager Murat Yakin by stating that the latter had taken him off the main Spartak squad because of his being Armenian. But later, Ozbiliz said his words were misrepresented.

Forward Yura Movsisyan, on the other hand, had stated that Spartak were playing better when former manager Valeri Karpin was at helm. Subsequently, the Russian club prohibited the Armenia international to speak with the media. 

Afterward, Spartak Moscow owner Leonid Fedun instructed the club’s relevant department to work on the transfer of the two Armenia internationals.
