"The processes taking place in the Wrestling Federation recently had been causing concern," said President Ilham Aliyev as he received members of the Azerbaijani team participating in the 7th U23 European Wrestling Championships which was held in Bulgaria, APA reports.
"There was certain stagnation there. The governing mechanism of the Wrestling Federation had weakened and there was arbitrariness. Of course, this also had a negative impact on the results, which is only natural. Therefore, it was necessary to replace the leadership of the Wrestling Federation, and so it happened. I am confident that the federation will now eliminate all the shortcomings and analyze the situation. I am told that this work has already begun. Of course, necessary conditions should be created for athletes – both young and senior.
When I was elected President of the National Olympic Committee, I set the task that we must create conditions for athletes and then expect results from them. These two main factors were the basis of our great successes. Therefore, I am confident that the Wrestling Federation, together with the Ministry of Youth and Sports and the coaches, will succeed in taking the right steps, and I consider today's victory as one of the first manifestations of this work," noted the head of state.
