PREFACE…..
The Black Sea……..
A Great River Basin in a geography that water, the source of life, leads the creation of civilizations
A world sea that extends to Marmara then to Çanakkale and Aegean Sea and Medittrenean and to the oceans by Gibraltar because it thinks it is foolish to be introverted..
The Black Sea …..
The most productive sea of the world that joins the people of different religions,languages, colours and races and its coasts always make the green and blue meet
No warships are allowed on it. “ I am the sea of friendship,peace and happiness” says The Black Sea “Only The Fishing, Race and saling Boats are allowed to sail on me”. Now, the countries around and near The Black Sea are coming together on the occasion of sports that is the source of friendship and peace.
Although the reference is The Black Sea Economic Cooperation, but to raise different flags in the universality of sports , to decorate the different sports suits with different flags, to smile to your competitor with the feeling of friendship and peace while running, jumping and swimming, to make a ring with people extending to shores holding hands singing sports marches The Black Sea Games is being organized.
The Games mean very much for The Black Sea that is trying to widen the ring by embracing not only the countries having coasts but also the neighboring ones.
First, Turkey is hosting the Games,
For now it is being organized in ten disciplines
It is a great experience , for the ones leaving childhood and stepping in being “juvenile” and shall realize that “one second” is a record in Olympic Games.
And the media that shall join all people even far away and shall transmit this feeling of friendship and peace to all over the world.
The media shall compete too. Our collegues shall compete too. But they shall not run
They shall chase the news, decorate them with their pictures and transmit them to all others by removing the borders.
They shall do the best that needs more responsibility.
By their media ID Cards they shall realize that they are the biggest partners and shall help and contribute each other.
But each of them shall try to do the best
They shall present their best pofessional talents.
The athletes shall compete and we shall make everyone all around the world see this beauty . Then it means we together shall handle this great work…
