I congratulate the winners of the Islamic Solidarity Games!

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!
