Baku Hints At Green Light For Armenian Soccer Star

The authorities in Baku signaled on Monday that they will not deport or arrest Henrikh Mkhitaryan, Armenia's most famous football player, if he arrives in Azerbaijan to play in his German club's upcoming match against an Azerbaijani team.

Mkhitaryan's Borussia Dortmund, one of Germany's strongest sides, and Azerbaijan's Qabala were last week drawn together in Group C of the UEFA Europa League, a major club soccer tournament. The first of the two games between them is scheduled to be played in Azerbaijan on October 22.
