 CSI urges IOC to ban Azerbaijan from Paris 2024 July 3, 2024 - 12:48 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - Christian human rights NGO Christian Solidarity International (CSI) has urged the International Olympic Committee to ban Azerbaijan from 2024 Summer Olympics. The organization said in a statement that there is no place for genocide at the Olympics. “Azerbaijan has driven 100,000 Armenian Christians out of their ancient homeland of Nagorno Karabakh/Artsakh. Now it is threatening to invade the Republic of Armenia itself,” CSI said. “After Russia invaded Ukraine, the International Olympic Committee barred Russia and Belarus from sending national teams to the 2024 Olympics. Russian and Belarusian athletes may compete as neutrals, but not under their country flag. The IOC should apply the same standard to Azerbaijan.”   Top stories Armenia’s Narek Manasyan (92kg) won Armenia’s second silver medal at the European Boxing Championships 2024 on April 28.
