Moscow : Some Western politicians’ absence in the opening ceremony of the Beijing Olympic Games in August will do no harm to the spirit of Olympics, a senior Russian expert said Tuesday.
“It’s unacceptable for some Western forces to politicise the Beijing Olympics,” said Alexander Larin, an expert of the Far East Institute of the Russian Academy of Science.
“The separatists strived to raise attention by provoking riots in Tibet, but they will never succeed in realising their conspiracy of sabotaging the great sports event,” he said.
Talking about some Western politicians’ threats to boycott the Beijing Olympics, Larin said the Tibet issue is a domestic affair of China and those biased so-called proposals are aimed to intervene China’s internal affairs.
