He said the TV channel presented the games as Borussia â€“ Aghdam.

Ibrahimov said it would be campaign for Azerbaijan concerning the Nagorno Karabakh conflict to voice the name of Garabagh FC, but the German TV channel prevented it. â€œThey presented Garabagh FC as Aghdam FC during the match. It can seem as a technical problem, but I consider it as a great sabotage and could not be an accident. Football is a popular game and it could be campaign for Azerbaijan that the world watching the Garabagh FCâ€™s game knows that Nagorno Karabakh belongs to Azerbaijan. It seems someone, who doesnâ€™t like us, concern about that. But we shouldnâ€™t be disappointed. We are facing with enemy and with the forces who donâ€™t like us. We have to actively joint the struggle against themâ€.

Ibrahimov said the issue would be investigated and we would address the relevant organizations about that. â€œOur organization is regularly facing with such sabotages and we are taking measures to prevent themâ€.
