President Ilham Aliyev: This is an additional incentive for our athletes to represent a dignified nation and a country that deserves great respect
Baku, March 17, AZERTAC
“Wars have been waged, are being waged and, unfortunately, will be waged in many parts of the world. If we pay attention to these wars, I think that both the Azerbaijani people and the entire world community will see again the greatness of the Azerbaijani people and the responsibility of the Azerbaijani leadership. Of course, this is an additional incentive for our athletes. Because we represent a dignified nation and a country that deserves great respect,” said President Ilham Aliyev as he received members of the Azerbaijani team participating in the 7th U23 European Wrestling Championships held in Bulgaria.
“You athletes will represent a victorious country for generations to come because our victory is eternal. We are the people who liberated Karabakh from the enemy and are creating a new life in those lands,” the head of state noted.
President Ilham Aliyev said that sports must be developed in the liberated lands. “We are already working on that. Stadiums, sports centers and other sports facilities are part of the master plans of all liberated cities. From now on, the federations and the Ministry of Youth and Sports must submit projects.”
