1924 y›l›ndan bu yana daima

milyar dolara yaklaflmakta olup,
ekonomik ve ticari iliflkilerimiz
art›fl e¤ilimi göstermektedir.
Mevcut dostane iliflkilerin daha
da ilerletilmesi ve iflbirli¤inin mümkün olan her alanda ge-
lifltirilmesi için gerekli siyasi irade ve kararl›l›k her iki taraf-
ta da mevcut bulunmaktad›r. Ülkelerimiz aras›nda üst dü-

Çek Cumhuriyeti’ni beraberindeki heyetle birlikte 4 fiubat
2013 tarihinde ziyaret etmifltir. Ayr›ca, Çek Cumhurbaflka-
n› Say›n Vaclav Klaus, beraberinde kalabal›k ifladamlar› he-
yetiyle birlikte, 14-16 fiubat 2012 tarihlerinde Ankara, Ada-

Halklar aras›ndaki dostluk ba¤lar›n›n kuvvetlendirilmesin-
de sportif faaliyetlerin katk›s› büyüktür. Spor müsabakalar›,
ülkeler aras›ndaki bar›fl ve kardefllik duygular›n›n gelifltiril-
mesinde önemli bir etkendir. Ülkemizden Çek Cumhuriye-
ti’ne son y›llarda judo, karate, basketbol, futbol, voleybol,
jimnastik, yüzme, buz pateni ve su alt› ragbisi gibi çeflitli
spor kollar›nda müsabakalara gelen sporcu say›s› oldukça
fazlad›r. Bu türden sportif temaslar›n artarak sürdürülmesi-
ni diliyorum. Bu anlamda iki ülke aras›nda gerçek bir dost-
luk ba¤›n›n olufltu¤unu söylemek yanl›fl olmayacakt›r.
Ayr›ca, Çek futboluna mâlolmufl birçok ünlü futbolcunun
ülkemiz futboluna renk katt›¤› ve tak›mlar›m›z›n baflar›lar›-
na ve genelde Türk futboluna önemli katk›larda bulundu¤u
da bir gerçektir. Bu ba¤lamda ülkemizde top koflturan de-
¤erli Çek futbolculara teflekkür ediyorum.
10 Ekim 2014 tarihinde ‹stanbul fiükrü Saraco¤lu Stad›’nda
Türk ve Çek A Millî Futbol Tak›mlar› aras›nda oynanacak
EURO2 016 Eleme Grubu maç›n›n heyecanl›, coflkulu ve
dostane bir ortamda geçece¤ine dair inanc›m› ifade ediyor,
her iki tak›m oyuncular›na baflar›lar ve taraftarlara iyi seyir-

Türk-Çek dostlu¤u futbol sahas›nda
Turkish-Czech friendship on the football field
Ever since the establishment of our diplomatic relations in
1924, our relationship with the Czech Republic, which is
an allied country, our partner in the EU, with which we sha-
re universal values with has always been friendly; after the
transition to democracy of Czechoslovakia in 1989 our re-
lations in the political, economic and cultural fields have
developed steadily and contact between the peoples of both
countries has intensified. Our bilateral trade volume has al-
most reached 4 billion USD and bilateral trade relations are
on the rise.
The political will and commitment to further enhance our
continuing friendly relations and increase cooperation in
every possible field exists on both sides. High level visits
between our countries are being held regularly. Recently,
H.E. the Prime Minister, who now is the President, together
with a delegation visited the Czech Republic on 4 February
2013. Also, President of the Czech Republic H.E. Mr. Vac-
lav Klaus visited Ankara, Adana and Mersin together with a
large delegation of businessmen on 14-16 February 2012
and participated in Business Council Meetings.
There is no doubt that sporting activities play an important
role in strengthening of friendly relations between nations.
Sporting activities also are an important factor in the deve-
lopment of peaceful and fraternal relations between coun-
tries. In the last years the number of Turkish athletes visiting
the Czech Republic to compete in sports such as judo, ka-
rate, basketball, football, volleyball, gymnastics, swimming,
figure skating and underwater rugby has increased. It’s my
utmost wish that such sports activities will continue and in-
crease in number. It would not be wrong to say that truly fri-
endly ties between our countries in this respect have been
established.
It is also a fact that many famous Czech Footballers who
play in Turkey add excitement to our league and contribu-
te to the success of Turkish teams and Turkish football in ge-
neral. Within this framework, I would like to thank all tho-
se esteemed Czech footballers who play in Turkey.
I would like to express my belief that the match to be pla-
yed in Istanbul fiükrü Saraço¤lu Stadium on 10 October
2014 between the Turkish and Czech National Teams will
be exciting, delightful and played in a friendly atmosphere.
I would like to wish success to the players of both teams and
an enjoyable match for the supporters.
Sincerely.
