"The book will be distributed around the world to strengthen the place of Turkish archery in the world. This will be made possible with this book, prepared in Turkey and distributed around the world. Archery is on the rise around the world and it is one of Turkey's traditional sports. Promoting it means promoting Turkey," he said.
