â€œI am not aware of Isgender Javadovâ€™s punishment. I heard it from youâ€, Azerbaijan Football Federations Association (AFFA) president Ramiz Mirzeyev told APA-Sport.
Mirzeyev said he gets information about AFFA Disciplinary Committee decisions from the press.
â€œDisciplinary Committee is free in its activity. I learn about the decisions of committee and departmens from the pressâ€, he said.
Mirzeyev didnâ€™t want to comment about the decision which banned Isgender Javadov to work in football organization for two years. Nevertheless, he stress everyone bears responsibility for his act.
â€œOne can do merits. But it doesnâ€™t free him from responsibilityâ€, he underscored.
Azerbaijan national team head coach Shahin Diniyev told APA-Sport that he has no information about the decision.
AFFA Disciplinary Committee chairman Tofig Fetullayev told APA-Sport that Mirzeyev and Diniyev didnâ€™t appeal to the committee.
â€œWe read Isgender Javadovâ€™s offensive statements about Ramiz Mirzeyev and Shahin Diniyev and punished him under the article 61 of Disciplinary Code. Neither Mirzeyev nor Diniyev appealed us on the issueâ€, he said.
Fetullayev refuted to answer the question â€œWhat if Ramiz Javadov and Shahin Diniyev do not consider the statement offensiveâ€.
â€œWe have made decision anyway. We are not going to change itâ€, he said.
Disciplinary Committee has banned Javadov to work in any football organization for two years considering his statement to APA-Sport as offensive. /APA-Sport/
