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!

This statement was made by President Ilham Aliyev at a meeting on the results of the first quarter of this year. The results of the quarter show that despite the negative events in the world, Azerbaijan continues to develop dynamically due to its capabilities.
We warmly welcome Mr. President’s support for entrepreneurship and the private sector at the meeting. The head of state stressed the importance of considering the issue of providing more loans to local companies and entrepreneurs by international financial institutions, including the World Bank, the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development, and other banks. The solution to this issue will stimulate the active participation of the private sector in economic processes.
As the President stressed, Azerbaijan has achieved today’s successes and realities on its own. Today, it restores and revives East Zangazur and Karabakh at its own expense. Mr. President stated that we will build these territories as a model region. Of course, the private sector and businesses will also be more actively involved in this construction process. The attention and care of the country’s leader gives a strong impetus to the activities of entrepreneurs and inspires them to work hard for the progress of our country.

On behalf of the Azerbaijan Judo Veterans Association and myself, I congratulate Mr. Rashad Nabiyev, President of the Azerbaijan Judo Federation (ACF), on his election as Chairman of the International Judo Federation’s New Technologies and High Productivity Commission.
The reforms carried out in ACF under the leadership of Rashad Muallim have a positive impact on the development of judo in our country. The new coaching staff of the national team is working hard to achieve the set goals, and our athletes are trying to increase their achievements.
Trusting Rashad to lead the application of new technologies in world judo is not only an expression of the value placed on his knowledge, skills, and experience but also another confirmation of the recognition of Azerbaijan as a country of sports and innovation.
Congratulations again, good luck!
