British Olympic Association (BOA) has recognized that the participation of athletes of this country in the European Games in Baku in June 2015 is paid by the organizers. This was written by The Guardian.
BOA will send 160 athletes to Azerbaijan, three times more than to Sochi. The head of the British team, Mark England said that the cost of the team is fully covered by the organizers.
"We have received grants from the Organizing Committee of the Games. We hope that the total cost for us will be zero," he said.

England himself refused to comment on the situation of human rights violations in Azerbaijan, saying that it was not within its competence.
