"Several international competitions were held in the liberated territories last year. This has a great historical significance," said President Ilham Aliyev in his speech at a ceremony dedicated to the sporting results of 2022, APA reports.
"Because the liberated areas are now reviving, life is returning there, and people are returning. As you know, immediately after our historic Victory, we started large-scale construction and restoration work in our liberated lands. Therefore, the holding of international sports competitions in these regions has a great symbolic meaning. An international chess competition was held in Shusha, and an international rowing competition was held on Sugovushan Lake. A triathlon competition was held around the Aghali village of Zangilan district. I appreciate it very much, and this work should be continued this year," the head of state said.
