00:00La mia città è la mia città in Alinkasi, che ha raggiunto l'anima del l'anima,
00:07e ho avuto una majorità di attraverso l'anima.
00:10Mi ha dato molto motivato.
00:13In questo anno, il 26 e l'anima,
00:15mi hanno dato il mondo e la città in Europa
00:18per la prima della città in Europa.
00:23Il Mignachevir e il Kuro river
00:27offer one of the main locations in Azerbaijan
00:29where talented young athletes like Ali Murad Hadjizadeh
00:33can practice for competitions.
00:35The calm and vast waterways are ideal for rowing, kayaking and canoeing.
00:57The President's regatta, and then the international regatta in Italy is very responsible.
01:04And we will determine the final form of the team
01:07and prepare for the European Championship and World Championship.
01:12Officials from the International Canoe Federation and Paddle Europe
01:15are in the process of finding other suitable locations.
01:18They've assessed the capital Baku and a number of regions,
01:21including post-conflict areas like Sarsang and Sugafushan.
01:25Criteria such as water quality and technical components are vital to explore.
01:30I'm impressed about the conditions, about the beauty of the place,
01:34and so now we have to adopt these venues or we have to adopt the waterways
01:40that we really can host the international competition.
01:43And technically it's a challenge.
01:46Of course we need temporary facilities to make sure that all the athletes can find
01:52in the environment that fits for international competition.
01:55But on the water itself, and that is our field of play,
01:59are excellent conditions.
02:01This is protected by a mountain, so no influence through the wind.
02:07I think we can really provide fair conditions,
02:09and that is the most important we have to provide during competitions for us.
02:26It's important to develop, you know, events on the different venues,
02:31and for that we need to go and to visit the venues,
02:34and see if it's technically possible to organise the events.
02:41Every effort is being made to attract high-level international water sport competitions to the region.
02:47Infrastructure and accessibility are key.
02:50We have a couple of airports around, which is in Fizuli and Genja, connecting with this area very easily.
03:00We have new hotels very close by here constructed, so we can use this area for potential tourism,
03:08and also to promote canoeing and rowing sports in this region.
03:14Our young athletes have participated in international regattas, European championships and world championships,
03:20and they have really good potential for the future, and we hope for them.
03:25And this year we will have already competitions for the Olympic Games in LA.
03:29There are over 170 national canoe federations across the globe,
03:34and canoeing is one of the few sports that can be practised almost anywhere in the world.
03:39The Azerbaijan Canoeing and Rowing Federation is one of the most reliable partners who is doing a lot to promote
03:47our sport,
03:48but who is helping international federations as well to organise international competitions.
03:54And that was a topic which we discussed with several stakeholders here in Azerbaijan.
04:00To formalise this partnership, the Azerbaijan Canoe and Rowing Federation and Paddle Europe
04:05have signed a Memorandum of Understanding.
04:07They'll now work together to organise training camps and coaching seminars,
04:11to develop a new discipline called Slalom, which is an Olympic event.
04:16Plans also include the construction of a new stadium.
04:20We are working on this project for three years,
04:23and for us it's a great achievement to sign this partnership.
04:29Azerbaijan is also a gate to Asia, so it will give us an opportunity to have collaboration
04:38with the ASEAN continent, ASEAN Canoe Federation.
04:41This initiative has inspired new plans to establish a development hub for paddle sports in Azerbaijan.
04:48Those leading the project say they're confident about the growth of the sport across the country,
04:53as it becomes more popular.
04:55Grazie a tutti.
