“There has been a growing interest in rowing among young people in recent years,” said MP Elman Nasirov following the opening ceremony of the International President Cup 2025 Regatta in Sugovushan.
Idman.biz reports that, speaking to journalists, Nasirov praised the high level of organization at the event:
“Today, Sugovushan is once again hosting an international tournament. I remember attending the opening ceremony of the very first edition of this event. Looking at the number of participants, it’s clear that interest in the regatta is increasing year by year. By holding such a meaningful event in Sugovushan — a land liberated thanks to the courage of our heroic soldiers — we are sending a powerful message of peace to the world. For thirty years, this region was under Armenian occupation and associated with messages of separatism and terrorism. That’s why this competition is not only a sporting event, but also carries deep political significance.”
More than 200 athletes from over 20 countries are competing in the International President Cup 2025 Regatta. The competition, which kicked off today in Sugovushan, will continue on May 1–2 at the Kur Olympic Training and Sports Center in Mingachevir.
