## Incidents
### Armenia's participation

Due to ongoing tension between Azerbaijan and Armenia it was feared that this might affect Armenia's participation in the world championships. On 11 July 2023 Head of the Public Relations Department of the Ministry of Youth and Sports of Azerbaijan Qabil Mehdiyev stated that Azerbaijan will ensure the safety of athletes and members of delegations of all participating countries, including representatives from Armenia. This was followed by Armenian Shooting Federation secretary general Arek Saribekyan's statement that Armenia wants to participate in the championships and hopes that the team does not face any obstacles.
