The Head of State noted a very strong generation is being raised as young athletes worthily represent Azerbaijan in the international competitions. The fact that all five athletes returned home with medals is a great accomplishment.

This victory occupies a great place in the history of the Azerbaijan sport because this competition was held in Yerevan. Our flag was raised five times and our national anthem was played once. Azerbaijani athletes have competed for the first time in the international event in Armenia and returned home with honor.
