The President of the European Fair Games Management, Philippe Housiaux, answered journalists' questions before the Congress held in Baku.
Idman.biz reports that he gave detailed information about the meeting and said that sports values are always given importance in Azerbaijan.
- What are your impressions about the European Fair Play Movement Congress organized in Azerbaijan?
- First of all, I was very impressed as a president of the European Fair Play Movement about the quality of the event and awarding ceremony in Baku. It was full of emotions. There was also a chance to see my favorite Azerbaijani singer. But, most of all, it was the global impression that we are the part of the same family, together living for sports. Azerbaijan is always looking for sports values. Khazar Isayev, the chairman of the NOC Fair Games commission, also values these values highly and seriously. In short, yesterday's event was great. I hope Congress will too.
- What topics will be on the agenda of the Congress?
- As a sports-related institution, we want to find a solution to some problems like racism in sports, competitions and in this field. This is not easy, because it is not just about football or specific sports. I hope that today's discussions will have an effective result for Europe and Azerbaijan, as well as for other regions.
- Azerbaijan Badminton Federation was also awarded yesterday, what can you say about it?
- This is happening for the second time. They are very dynamic and have unique characteristics. Therefore, it is very impressive that the federation won this award in Baku.
