Putin criticizes Russian channels for not covering European Games in Baku
Russian President Vladimir Putin has criticized the Russian sports TV channels for the rejection to cover the first European Games that are due in Baku on 12-28 June.

"How can it be so? President of the Olympic Committee of Russia Alexander Zhukov has just sent me a message that the first European Games in Baku is an event in world sports while no one wants to cover them in our media?

I understand that there are some restrictions related to the current budget situation... but there are key things, this is an event in world sports - the first-ever European games.

Judging by everything, the current system of organization of high achievements, information provision in sports is still not perfect", Putin said.
