Baku, Azerbaijan, June 30
By Jamilya Aliyeva - Trend:
US Report on Human Rights is annual, it's a long tradition since the times of President Carter, US Ambassador to Azerbaijan Robert Cekuta told reporters June 30.
Reports on some countries provide a basis for dialogue with them, said Cekuta. The report is prepared for a long time, and so it coincided with the European Games, but it was not related to the Games, the diplomat said.
The European Games kicked off in Baku June 12 and wrapped up on June 28. Baku 2015 First European Games hosted 20 sports - 16 Olympic and four non-Olympic sports.
More than 6,000 athletes from across Europe came to Baku to represent their nations over 17 days of competition. Baku was awarded the games by the European Olympic Committees (EOC) in December 2012.
