Armenian designer Aram Nikolyan, who burned the Azerbaijani Flag, was the designer of the opening of the European Weightlifting Championship held in Yerevan, APA reports citing Telegram page of Armenia's Bagramyan.
"We were surprised by this action of the designer who tried to burn the flag, because Aram Nikolyan did not complain at all when he was sewing with the Azerbaijani Flag for money. Our source also expressed concern about the possibility that Nikolyan burned the flag as a result of pressure and blackmail from some circles".
