Torch Presentation of First European games

On the 20th of April the Organizing Committee of the first European Games 2015 in Baku introduced the "Route of Fire", which starts on the 26th of April. The design of the torch and the lamp of Baku-2015 was demonstrated for the first time. Azerbaijan is known as the Land of Fire, so it is logical that the fire of the first European Games starts its way from Ateshgyahe, an ancient sanctuary of fire worshippers. It was built on the site of the "eternal" inextinguishable fires, burning outputs of natural gas. The race is to start on Sunday, the 26th of April. Then the fire in the course of 47 days will overcome the route, the length of which is more than 5000 kilometers, before it ignites the cup at the opening ceremony on the 12th of June. The torch will be held more than 1,000 times and it will be carried across the country by bus, cable car, bicycle, boat, air and in the underground of Baku.
