Football agent Alexander Klyuev, representing the interests of the Moscow player Lokomotiv Naira Tiknizyan explained that the footballer’s decision to play for the Armenian national team was due to the desire to play in the European arena.
Tiknizyan made his debut for the Armenian national team in March’s Euro 2024 qualifier with the Turkish team (1-2).
– Tiknizyan’s decision to change the Russian team to Armenia was not easy. We put it off for a long time. But when it came time to take a step forward, we did.
What prevailed? Tiknizyan’s desire to play on the European stage, the Armenian national team now has a strong qualifying group, that’s where to prove themselves. Nobel Arustamyan also helped us in this transition (smiles). I supported Nair’s decision, he had already made his debut in the game against Turkey, showed himself well, – said Klyuev “Championship”.
Tiknizyan, 23, is an ethnic Armenian born in St. Petersburg. Previously, he played for the national teams of Russia under 19 (5 matches), under 20 (4 matches) and under 21 (7 matches).
This season, the defender has made 32 appearances for Lokomotiv, scoring two goals and providing five assists.
