I think lately most of my statuses are dedicated to sports events. And I’m very happy with that…
The 5th Islamic Solidarity Games, which ended in Konya, Turkey, became the next glorious page of Azerbaijani sports. Our athletes won 99 medals in competitions of various types and took 4th place among 56 countries.
The participation of Honorable President Ilham Aliyev and First Vice-President Mehriban Aliyeva at the opening ceremony of the Islamic Solidarity Games and their sincere meetings with our athletes became a strong incentive for the victories won.
The Azerbaijani team won medals in 19 sports. I am especially pleased that our judokas are among the high achievers. They finished the competition with 2 gold, 3 silver, and 3 bronze medals. The most interesting and useful thing is that the Azerbaijan Judo Federation gave the promising youth of our judo in Konya an opportunity to test their strength, and they duly justified the trust.
I congratulate all our athletes who participated in Islamic Solidarity Games and succeeded! They once again proved that Azerbaijan is a sports country with their perseverance!
I wish our athletes new victories in the upcoming competitions!

Pleasant questions are coming from our athletes again, our flag is being raised in prestigious international competitions, and our anthem is being played.
In the mixed team competition at the XVI Summer Olympic Festival of European Youth held in Banska Bistritsa, Slovakia, it is a very happy event that the Azerbaijani judo team defeated the strong teams of France in the semi-finals and the strong teams of Ukraine in the final and won a gold medal, as well as 1 gold, 4 silver and 2 bronze medals in individual competitions.
This once again confirms that the state’s care for the development of sports in our country, as well as the reforms carried out in the Azerbaijan Judo Federation, ensured the consistent nature of achievements in judo.
In other types of sports, there are also successful results that make us happy: medals won at the U-17 World Wrestling Championship in Rome, the capital of Italy, the world championship among junior taekwondo players in Sofia, the capital of Bulgaria, the third place of the Azerbaijani U-18 team at the European Championship of young basketball players in San Marino. The victories of “Karabakh” and “Neftchi” furball teams in European-level competitions… These increase the fame of Azerbaijan as a sports country and show the high spirit of struggle and victory of our people.
I congratulate my athletes who gave us the joy of victory, I wish them new successes and achievements!

Dear friends, dear Muslim brothers, and sisters.
Our people welcome the Eid al-Adha, which is one of the holy Islamic traditions, with pleasant feelings – the song of victory, gratitude, gratitude to our brave army and the victorious Commander-in-Chief. After nearly thirty years, our lands and holy shrines were freed from occupation.
Almost all of them were destroyed, and the traces of our people were erased from those that remained intact. However, thanks to the special attention and care of Mr. President Ilham Aliyev, the doors of those mosques are opened for prayer, and the call to prayer is heard from the minarets.
Our national unity and solidarity is unshakable. The successful development of our country makes us happy.
We remember with respect the children of the motherland who were martyred in the path of truth and noble deeds. It is our duty to take care of their families, the disabled, the elderly, and war veterans.
On these blessed days, I wish God to accept your prayers and intentions, and I wish each of you happiness, prosperity, and peace!
Happy Sacrifice!

Our judokas have pleased us with their achievements in prestigious continental competitions in recent days. Our teenage boys won 2 gold and 4 bronze medals in individual competitions at the European Championship held in Poreč, Croatia, and took first place in terms of number and number of medals. 4 of our judoka girls participated in that championship and returned home with 1 gold and 1 silver medal. In the city of Poreč, our junior judokas participated in the team competition of the European championship and were awarded the bronze medal of the championship in this category.
Our athletes, who performed at the European Judo Cup among young people in Bosnia and Herzegovina, returned with 1 gold and 1 silver medal.
Our national judo team was the first in the open European tournament held in Cluj-Napoca, Romania. Our athletes won 3 gold and 3 bronze medals in the competition. Murad Fatiyev, a student of “Judo club 2012”, is one of the owners of the gold medal. Taking first place among 33 countries at the Open European tournament is a great achievement.
I heartily congratulate our athletes who brought honor to our country with their victories, their coaches, as well as the leadership of the Azerbaijan Judo Federation!
May you have many victories and successes!

The Armed Forces of the Republic of Azerbaijan are the guarantor of the independence of our country and the well-being of our people.
The victory of the Azerbaijani Army in the 44-day Patriotic War in 2020 under the leadership of President Ilham Aliyev, the victorious Supreme Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces, demonstrated to the world the strength and power of the Azerbaijani Army.
Our heroic soldiers, ensigns and officers showed unparalleled courage in the battles for the liberation of our land from occupation.
I bow to the soul of each of our martyred servicemen and wish healing to our veterans!
It is our civic duty to support and care for the families of martyrs and war veterans.
Congratulations to all our servicemen on the occasion of June 26 – Armed Forces Day, I wish them a healthy life and courageous service!
It is a pleasure to be a representative of the people whose glorious army was able to liberate their land from Armenian occupation decades later!
Long live the Armed Forces of Azerbaijan!

It has become a good tradition for our master judokas to achieve successful results in continental and world championships. The success of the European Championship, which ended yesterday in Heraklion, Greece, is particularly gratifying. For the first time, our team returns from the continental championship with a record number of medals – 20 medals. 19 medals in individual competitions and first place in the team event, as well as a bronze medal in the team competition for the 30-39 age group… Great success!
On this occasion, on behalf of the Azerbaijan Judo Veterans Association and on my own behalf, I congratulate our master judokas and wish each of them good health, new successes, and victories!
