# of turkish players to win a world cup: 0
# of armenian players to win a world cup: 2 - djorkaeff and boghosyan (w/france in '98).

how is turkey in chess? you have an extra 67 million people.

Chess is more of an intelectual game (duh!), well...I'm not saying Turks are not smart, but history shows they're more proficient when physical strength is a factor. You be be the judge.

Number of Turkish players to win Chess World Championship = 0
Number of Armenian World Champs 2 = Petrosian, Kasparov (His mom's Armenian)

This is kind of fun --> Number of Turkish Oscar Winners = 0 Armenians = 1 (Cher)

Number of Turkish NCAA Coaches to win Championship Turks= 0 Armenians = 2 (Tarkanian, Parsigian)

Hmm, yes. I think I'm going to write a book on this.

The Armenian under 19 team is just about set to qualify for the finals of the UEFA U19 championship. Thus far they have drawn with Italy and beaten Belgium. Their next game is against Hungary on Tuesday, the weakest team in the group, they should be an easy game. As long as we beat them and Belgium manages to hold italy to a draw or beat them we will have qualified for the finals. This is quite an achievement and will bring a lot of attention to our youngsters and the sport in general in Armenia. Lots of scouting to come hopefully.

From what i know ,Kasparov's mother is Armenian.His father was a russian jew.
Kasparov's consiousness is Armenian for sure ,since his father died from some protests from Azeris , i think, when he was 6 ,and he was then raised by his mother..
Kasparov's last name is his mother's's last name, which has been russified ,Kasparian.

Armenia 5-1 Hungary

Armenia 5-1 Hungary

Wow!

The teams that now move on are England, Sweden, Germany, Czech Republic, France, Spain, Armenia, Belgium, Greece, Scotland, Norway, Ukraine, Serbia & Mont., and Poland. These are the big boys (btw, where is Turkey, Azerbaijan, Georgia, Netherlands, Italy, Russia, Portugal?!). This is by far the best result Armenia have had in any international competition ever. They have a weak league, hardly any money, and a population less than 3 million. They don't even have a proper website for information about the national teams. Incredible.

www.xtratime.org is the proper site as of now bro. We have a big Armenian community there and lots of info about armenian soccer. So come by post a big, its a great community with any info you need, i dont know what i would do without it.

Todays result was beautiful and proved the strenght of our team. This is the first international final Armenia has qualified for EVER. And as uefa.com put it, we did it in a "devastating fashion". Edgar Manucharian the star striker from AFC Ajax scored 4 goals and Artak Oseyan added the 5th to seal the deal.

I honestly think we have a very good shot at the trophy now. Our team is great. We drew Italy, one of the biggest names in soccer, beat Belgium, another very strong team and completely devastated Hungary.

I am in complete joy and am very happy and expectant for progress this signals and the doors this result opens for Armenian football.

and let's remember the reason why turkey is a nation of 70 million and armenia is one with less than 3 million.

did you know it was armenians that brought the sport of football/soccer into istanbul during the ottoman period, because it was seen as anti-islamic in the beginning? armenians are the reason why there is soccer in turkey!

how is turkey in chess? you have an extra 67 million people.

If Armenians brought soccer to Turkey, thwy did a very good job. No problem with it.
Of couse Armenia is better at chess because of the Russian school. So what?
