The number of medals will increase each time. I believe that at the next Olympics in Brazil Azerbaijani sportsmen will achieve a considerable success.

Among the Turkic world, exactly Azerbaijan and Kazakhstan have made the biggest victories. The economic growth of the two countries paved the way for the development of sport, which is a symbol of the citizens' welfare and healthy lifestyle.  President Ilham Aliyev has made an invaluable contribution to the development of sports in Azerbaijan. I congratulate the President and all who work shoulder to shoulder with him, I wish you continued success.

Board member of the World Congress of Azerbaijanis Asif Gurbanov:

- Our athletes in many sports, especially wrestling, judo, taekwondo, traditionally hold strong positions. I want to emphasize that in these sports, we have witnessed the ill, partiality of the arbitrators. In general, even international sports commentators have criticized the level of the judges at these games. Despite all this, Azerbaijan has won the biggest victory in its sporting history and took the 30th place. I want to congratulate the Azerbaijani people on behalf of all Azerbaijanis living in Izmir.
