Yesterday, by the Order of the President of the Republic of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev, a number of sports figures were awarded the honorary title "Honored Worker of Physical Culture and Sports" for their special services in the development of sports in Azerbaijan and their high professionalism.
One of them is Ilaha Gadimova, the Secretary General of the Azerbaijan Chess Federation, one of the strongest chess players in the history of our country.
Idman.Biz contacted Ilaha khanum and asked about her impressions:
"This news was completely unexpected for me. I believe that this is not only my success - it is the common success of all of us, our women's team that won a silver medal at the world championship this year. Of course, this is also the success of our federation's president, Mahir Mammadov. We always feel his support and care," said Ilaha Gadimova.
