Dear Prof Celilov,
I cordially send my congratulations to you, to the members of The Society of Azerbaijan Orthopaedics and Traumatology, and to the Organizing Committee for the realization of the successful meeting which was held in Baku on May 19-20, 2018 As the President of APOA, I was honored and specially pleased to be invited to this august scientific meeting. It was a pleasure to meet and
interact with so many orthopaedic surgeons from Azerbaijan, Kazakhistan, Uzbekistan, Russia, Iran, Ahıska Turks (Meskhetian Turks).
Specially gratifying was to see that the delegates attended with great interest. Finally, please accept my appreciations to the success of the growing efforts, and unity of the Family of Turkish Speaking Countries of Orthopaedics and Traumatology, Azerbaijan Society of Orthopaedics and Traumatology, Turkish Society of Orthopaedics and Traumatology/TOTBID and the other societies.
With sincere regards,
Yours truly
Mahmut Nedim Doral
President — APOA.
