“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 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.
