Azamat Aitkhozhin sent a telegram to the AFF General Secretary

"The Kazakhstan Football Federation congratulates the FC ''Pyunik'' with the third round of the Europa League qualification. This is an unprecedented success for the club football of your country. We wish new victories to ''Pyunik'' and all Armenian football!

At the same time, we draw your attention to the episode that happened in the end of the second match between ''Pyunik'' and ''Tobol'' on July 31. The gesture addressed to the reserve bench of the Kazakhstan team by assistant head coach of the home team Yuri Nagaytsev caused a storm of indignation among millions of football fans from Kazakhstan, who were watching the match live. I would not want such incidents to negatively affect the friendly relations between the two federations," the telegram says.
