SPORT

''Real supremacy in sport is not only measured with winning, but with sport morals and spirit of teams, clubs, and players.''

From H.E.'s Statements to Al-Ittihad Club players, Aleppo, North Syria, (November 13, 2010)

''The main challenge is how to organize time…you can't do your job when your family relations are not good or when your health is not good. Therefore, sport is important. Sport and family are part of the job, and it's unreasonable to work for all the citizens and not to work for your family too. There is a kind of balance which is very necessary. It is important to be successful in organizing our time, and I believe one of the reasons of backwardness in the East is not setting priorities in life. This is something I'm always keen to achieve."

From H.E.'s TRT TV Interview, (October 6, 2010)

 

“The more pressures , the more we need to work; and the more our need for the work is, the more is our need for more sport practicing; hence we can not think in a correct manner, nor sit on a chair for long hours without practicing sport on a regular basis and for long hours.’’
