Chess players who won 4 gold, 2 silver and 1 bronze medals at the European Junior Championship in Romania returned to their homeland.
İdman.biz informs that Ilaha Gadimova, the general secretary of the Azerbaijan Chess Federation, called the results of the juniors a historic success in her statement to journalists at the airport:
"Winning 7 medals at the European Championship for teenagers was a great success. I would like to specially mention that four of the medals are gold. Our chess players have never won 4 gold medals in the continental championship before. This is the first, historic success. It was the result of the systematic work done by the Federation in recent years. On this occasion, I congratulate the chess players, their coaches, and their parents. We believe that success will be sustainable. Next month, our chess players will go to the World Junior Championship. We believe that after Romania, they will perform successfully in the world championship as well."
