BAKU, Oct. 3 -- Baku has a good chance for hosting the 2020 Olympics, Azerbaijan's minister of youth and sports Azad Rahimov said on Monday.
Rahimov made the remarks at the first meeting of the Baku bid organizing committee for the 2020 Games.
Also joining the bid race alongside Baku is Rome, Madrid, Tokyo, Istanbul and Doha.
