Then, when the correct anthem was about to be played, there was another embarrassing incident as the stadium announcer apologised to "Armenia's fans" and called on the crowd to respect the "Armenia national anthem"

:D

This diplomatic faux-pas had serious repercussions, as President Trump immediately cancelled peace talks with leaders of the warring factions from Afghanistan :eek:
