TEHRAN (Press TV)-Iran's National Olympic Committee opposes politicizing the Beijing Games, urging against a boycott over China's handling of Tibet protests.

""205 National Olympic Committees including Iran have spoken against the boycott in their meeting at China World Hotel,"" said Reza Qarakhanlu, the Chairman of Iran's National Olympic Committee.
The 16th General Assembly of the Association of National Olympic Committees rejected all attempts to politicize the Olympic Games last week.
Calls for a boycott on the Olympic games have intensified following a recent crackdown on monk-led protests in Tibet.
Demonstrations have taken place in a number of cities in which the Olympic flame was carried in relay after being lit in Olympia, Greece on March 14.
