Baku not to bid for hosting Olympic Games 2024
Azerbaijan`s Ministry of Youth and Sports has commented on its rejection to bid for hosting the Olympic Games 2024.
Spokesperson for the Ministry Samaya Mammadova told AzVision.az that Baku rejected to nominate its candidacy because of preparations for other upcoming large-scale events.

"We did not bid, because we will host the Islamic Solidarity Games 2017, F-1, Chess Olympiad.

In addition, we are preparing for the Summer Olympic Games due to be held in Rio-de-Janeiro in 2016.

The Olympic Games 2024 demand great attention and concentration," the ministry spokesperson said.
