The first European Games is great success for Azerbaijan, said Konul Nurullayeva, the head of the country
She expressed hope that Azerbaijan will be able to rank second in medal standings till the end of the Games, and this grandiose event will be written in the country’s sports history with gold letters.

“Our primary goal was to hold the European Games in compliance with the Olympic standards, and we have even managed to exceed these standards,” Nurullayeva added.

Nurullayeva also clarified the question of why yesterday Azerbaijani boxer Mahammadrasul Majidov, who won a bronze medal, did not participate in the awarding ceremony.

“Anything can happen is sports. He was injured, but now feels good. Yesterday, his condition was worse. Necessary measures have been taken. He will be back to training in the near future,” she noted.
