The Football Federation of Armenia (FFA) has clarified that UEFA is responsible for selecting broadcast crews for competitions held under its auspices, including Turkish camera operators working at the Republican Stadium.
In a statement, the federation explained that UEFA sends specialists of various nationalities to Armenia and that the FFA has no influence over the selection process.
“Since the transition to a centralized broadcasting system more than 10 years ago, UEFA has been solely responsible for filming competitions held in Armenia under its auspices.
“The organization sends specialists of various nationalities to Armenia, including Turkish camera operators. The FFA has no influence over UEFA’s personnel selection process.
“It should be emphasized that the same personnel are responsible for filming the Armenian national team’s matches in the current UEFA Nations League campaign, as well as Ararat-Armenia’s Europa League group-stage matches.
“The FFA reiterates that this process falls under UEFA’s responsibility and that the federation plays no role in selecting personnel,” the statement said.
