  • [01] Sports Minister to ANA-MPA: Athens Olympic Games a catastrophe for the Greek economy

    ANA/MPA---Sports Minister Stavros Kontonis characterised the "Athens Olympic Games a bad example" in an interview to ANA-MPA on the occasion of the start of the European Championships in Baku.

    Kontonis said that the way the Olympic Games were organised and the major works in Athens were implemented was disastrous for the Greek economy and for the regional growth which was never achieved in Greece in that period.

    He estimated that the total cost of the Athens Olympic Games reached 20 bln euros and this is something that countries in similar financial situation should be aware of.

    Kontonis is in Baku representing the Greek government in the opening ceremony of the 1rst European Games. He will also participate on Saturday in the unofficial ministerial meeting of the 47 member states of the Council of Europe.
