L\u00f3pez acknowledged that the needed conditions and sporting establishments were present in Azerbaijan, and praised the country&#8217;s past experiences of hosting international events.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  While hosting the European Games in 2015, many media outlets, both local and international, noted the presence of corrupt and dubious practices during the games in Azerbaijan. The heavy involvement of the Aliyev family itself in the organization of the games was closely scrutinized. The First Lady herself, Mehriban Aliyev, chaired the Games\u2019 organizing committee.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  Many European leaders boycotted the games in a sign of protest against the degradation of human rights in Azerbaijan.
