"Mkhitaryan does not want to go to Baku? This is his own business. Azerbaijan guaranteed the player's safety. If we are going to deal with this situation, if the football match is held under this political pressure, then we will not able to organize anything in the future," Čeferin in the interview with Spiegel.
In response to questions about human rights issues in Azerbaijan, UEFA President said such problems exist in other countries as well. "Similar problems exist in other countries as well. Does this mean that Baku habitants have no right to see live football? "- said Čeferin
