“We have prepared for the ECL match in the usual way, about a week ago we were able to have the players who finished the end of the previous season with injuries back training. There was a relatively big movement within the squad, but I feel we managed to fill the void left by the departures. We will be playing a strong team in Fehérvár, we have analysed their game thoroughly, of course we take the match seriously, we have our own aims in the match. But the tie will be decided on the pitch, not with words." - summarised the Armenians' coach Vardan Bichakhchyan at a press conference on Wednesday.

“I am very happy to have joined Ararat this summer. I will do my best to make the team a success. I've already played tin wo friendly matches with my new team-mates, so I'm confident that the transition will go well and we'll get a positive result against a Hungarian team with good players." - said former Armenian international Alik Arakelyan, one of Ararat's latest signings.
