SPORT IS NOT POLITICS

Sports

”There is no need to politicize our failure in the Olympic Games. Sport is out of politics.”, Ishkhan Zaqaryan, Chairman of Armenia’s Sport Committee and Olympic Committee, announced at today’s conference. He was obviously aggravated with the criticism voiced by the political figures.

Ishkhan Zaqaryan tried to stay away from those standpoints but he forgot how he together with some colleagues and sportsmen had partaken in the pre-election campaign for Robert Kocharyan. Zaqaryan thinks the specialists having concern with the games are to analyse the failures.

Zaqaryan referred to the negative responses by journalists skin-deep as he knows well that the arguments journalists present in our state are always neglected and his fate depends on the high rankers.
