I congratulate the Turkish national team, which successfully performed at the European football championship held in Germany, and qualified for the 1/4 stage and took a place among the 8 strongest European national teams.

Axar.az reports that President of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev wrote these words in X.

"Especially, I congratulate Merih Demiral, who scored 2 goals in the 1/8 final stage and was chosen as the best player of the game. The punishment applied to Merih is unfair and I strongly condemn it. I wish the Turkish national team a victory in the game against the Netherlands!
Long live the Turkish world!", the President emphasized.
