"On March 31, the Turkish national team qualified for the World Cup in football again after 24 years as a result of the victory over Kosovo. We sincerely congratulate brotherly Turkey on this historic event."
Idman.Biz reports that these words were said by Prime Minister Ali Asadov at the meeting of the Heads of Government/Vice Presidents of the member states of the Organization of Turkic States held in Baku.
"At the same time, Uzbekistan's promotion to the World Championship for the first time in its history brings special pride and joy. Brotherly Uzbekistan achieved this historic achievement in June last year. Both successes can be considered as a victory for the entire Turkic world.
These victories clearly reflect the rise of the Turkic peoples in all fields," the Prime Minister emphasized.
