For more than a year, most countries around the world have been battling the COVID-19 pandemic. The pandemic period has its own requirements. Taking into account these factors, we are meeting today in the format of a video conference. Of course, due to the pandemic, 2020 could be called a difficult and perhaps unsuccessful year. But last year will always be remembered as a year of victory for us. Under the leadership of the President of the Republic, Supreme Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces, Mr. Ilham Aliyev, our victorious army liberated our occupied lands from the clutches of the enemy for nearly 30 years. I congratulate each of you on the great victory. Registered in the AFFA Registration System during the Patriotic War, 191 members of the Azerbaijani football family also rose to the peak of martyrdom. May God have mercy on all our martyrs!
