Baku is a very lucky platform for Belarusian athletes, Gennady Ahramovich, Belarusian ambassador to Azerbaijan, said after the World Cup in Trampoline and Tumbling in Baku Feb. 17.

It is especially pleasing that on the eve of the Second European Games to be held in Minsk, this once again shows the readiness of our team. I always say that Baku is a talisman, a very lucky platform for Belarusian athletes," the diplomat said.

Ahramovich stressed that relations between the two countries in the field of sports are developing successfully.
