The Olympics are a terrible investment and a huge risk for the host city. Following is a transcript of the video. Cities pay billions of dollars to host the Olympics. But is it worth it? Rio estimated the 2016 Olympics would cost $3 billion. Instead, the final cost was closer to $13 billion. The city had to cut healthcare and police spending to afford it. This is what the venues look like just 1 year later. Host cities hope the increased tourism will be worth it and that the new venues will be used long after the games. However, the costs frequently go over estimates. Russia estimated the Sochi games would cost $12 billion. Instead, the final cost was around $50 billion. Many oligarchs contributed money to cover the buildout. Russia wound up making just $53 million on the endeavor. China spent over $40 billion on the 2008 Olympics. While they made a $146 million profit, this is what the stadiums look like today. To help pay for the 2006 Turin Olympics, the Italian government launched a scratch-off lottery game. Ultimately, the city lost $3.2 million hosting the Olympics. Today, its Olympic Village is used to house refugees. The 2004 Olympics cost Greece around $11 billion. Many of the stadiums are in disrepair today. With runaway budgets and stadiums that may never be used again, the Olympics continue to be a big risk for any city to host.

Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs Terens Quick made the following statement after the Greece-Cyprus-Armenia Trilateral meeting on Diaspora issues, which was held in Yerevan: “The actions of our Trilateral cooperation will be based on the pillars of Diaspora youth and well-known members of our Diasporas throughout the world, to the benefit of our nations and our overseas communities. I am thoroughly convinced that this important endeavour we are launching will have the full support and assistance of diaspora communities the world over.”This was the second Trilateral meeting on diaspora cooperation between the three countries; cooperation that is the result of an initiative on the part of Minister of Foreign Affairs Nikos Kotzias, in consultation with his Cypriot and Armenian counterparts. Diaspora issues were among the subjects of the talks and meeting held last Wednesday, in Athens, between the Greek Minister of Foreign Affairs and his Armenian counterpart, Edward Nalbandian.The Greek Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs, Terens Quick, the Cypriot Commissioner for Overseas Cypriots, Fotis Fotiou, and the Armenian Diaspora Minister, Hranush Hakobyan, set the agenda of actions for 2018; actions that will take place in the three countries’ capitals and in countries with large Armenian communities, such as France and the U.S. On the recommendation of its General Secretariat for Greeks Abroad, Greece proposes the hosting of a photo exhibit in Thessaloniki on the subject of the Armenian and Pontic Genocides, in parallel with cultural events supported by the corresponding organizations in each country. Moreover, in Komotini, where there is a large Armenian community, a meeting of top university students of the three countries’ Diaspora communities will be held, with the aim of developing inter-university links among the Greek, Cypriot and Armenian Diasporas. In this regard, the Greek Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs stressed: “I am certain that we will be assisted in these two actions by the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, with its new Chair of Pontic Studies, and the Democritus University of Thrace, as well as by the Municipalities of the two cities, in parallel, of course, with the local organizations of the Pontians, Armenians and Cypriots.”The Trilateral meeting culminated in a meeting with Armenian Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs Garen Nazaryan and a visit by the heads of the three countries’ delegations to Patriarch Karenin II of Armenia.The next meeting will take place in March, in Greece.
