==Controversies==

===Human rights situation and media bans===
[[Amnesty International]] have been a vocal critic of the Baku 2015 European Games, stating in March 2015, "Azerbaijan may be a safe country for athletes taking part in the 100 metres, but defending rights and free speech is a dangerous game here. Those who champion them receive harassment and prison sentences instead of medals.".<ref name=Amnesty >{{cite web|url=https://www.amnesty.org/en/articles/blogs/2015/03/baku-a-city-of-stark-contrasts-ahead-of-european-games-in-azerbaijan/|title=Baku: a city of stark contrasts ahead of European Games in Azerbaijan|date=March 2015}}</ref> In August 2014, the [[human rights]] organisation highlighted the 24 [[prisoners of conscience]] being held in Azerbaijan prisons as an example of abuses.<ref name=IBTimes>{{cite web|url=http://www.ibtimes.co.uk/top-british-baku-2015-organiser-not-my-job-criticise-azerbaijan-human-rights-abuses-1461304|title=Top British Baku 2015 Organiser: Not My Job to Criticise Azerbaijan Human Rights Abuses|date=August 2014}}</ref> Western countries also criticized Aliyev's intention to close the [[OSCE]] offices in Baku.<ref name="digi24.ro">{{cite web | url=http://www.digi24.ro/Stiri/Digi24/Actualitate/Politica/Victor+Ponta+alaturi+de+lideri+loiali+presedintelui+rus+Vladimir | title=Victor Ponta, în galeria celor mai înverșunați lideri politici.

In June 2015, ''[[The Guardian]]'' reported that its own reporters, along with those of other media outlets, had been barred from entering Baku to cover the games. Human Rights Watch, in the same article, stated it had observed "the worst crackdown the country has seen in the post-Soviet era".<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2015/jun/11/azerbaijan-bans-guardian-european-games-baku-2015|title=Azerbaijan bans Guardian from reporting on Baku European Games|website=[[TheGuardian.com]] |date=June 2015}}</ref>

===Bus accident===
During the games there was a [[Traffic collision|road accident]] where a coach driver drove into a group of young Austrian athletes by mixing up the accelerator and brake pedals, with the incident recorded by a surveillance camera. 15-year-old Austrian synchronized swimmer [[Vanessa Sahinovic]] and her teammates Lisa Breit and Luna Pajer were injured. Sahinovic was placed in an induced coma and flown to [[Vienna]] for emergency surgery. Sahinovic was left [[paraplegia|paraplegic]] in the accident. Because of the accident, Austria had to withdraw from the team competition. In the synchronized swimming duet competition, sisters [[Anna-Maria Alexandri|Anna-Maria]] and [[Eirini-Maria Alexandri]] won the silver medal, which they dedicated to the injured teammates. The police officer who released the video of the surveillance camera was relieved of his duties. Sahinovic is recovering, and is supported by an initiative of Austrian swimmers and a fundraising campaign.<ref>{{cite news |title=European Games: Bus driver held over injured athletes |work=[[BBC News]] |url=https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-33122334 |date=13 June 2015 |access-date=13 June 2015}}</ref><ref name=RFE-RL>{{cite news |title=Baku Police Officer Fired Over Video Of Bus Ramming Athletes |work=[[Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty]] |url=http://www.rferl.org/content/azerbaijan-policeman-fired-over-release-of-bus-video/27073022.html |date=15 June 2015 |access-date=19 November 2015}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |title= When I'm underwater I forget all my problems and the world seems much better than before  |url=https://synchroworldnews.wordpress.com/2015/10/03/when-im-underwater-i-forget-all-my-problems-and-the-world-seems-much-better-than-before/ |date=3 October 2015 |access-date=19 November 2015}}</ref><ref>[http://sport.orf.at/stories/2239526/2239525/ Schicksalshafter Moment in Baku], orf.at, 2010-10-18</ref><ref>[http://derstandard.at/2000027771335/Ein-Unfall-und-viele-offenen-Fragen Ein Unfall und viele offene Fragen], Der Standard, 2015-12-21.</ref><ref>[http://sport.orf.at/stories/2242857/2242859/ „Aus dem alten Leben rausgerissen“], orf.at, 2012-12-27</ref>

The couple are intended to represent the spirit of Azerbaijan and help excite the youth for the event.<ref>{{cite web|title=Baku 2015 European Games Unveils Official Mascots Jeyran And Nar |url=http://www.baku2015.com/en/news/press-releases/baku-2015-european-games-unveils-official-mascots-jeyran-and-nar |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141128051151/http://www.baku2015.com/en/news/press-releases/baku-2015-european-games-unveils-official-mascots-jeyran-and-nar |url-status=usurped |archive-date=28 November 2014 |website=www.baku2015.com |access-date=26 November 2014 }}</ref>

===Brand and visual identity===
The brand incorporates traditional Azerbaijani imagery with images and colours designed to evoke a European sporting feel. The pomegranate tree, whose fruit juice is one of Azerbaijan's main exports, features heavily. The brand was created with legacy potential in mind, possibly inspired by the way the [[Commonwealth Games]]’ branding retains a similar feel each year.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.transformmagazine.net/cultural-icon-brings-european-games-brand-to-life/|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141020024657/http://www.transformmagazine.net/cultural-icon-brings-european-games-brand-to-life/|url-status=dead|archive-date=20 October 2014|title=Cultural icon brings European Games brand to life|date=30 September 2014|work=Transform magazine}}</ref>

As Azerbaijan as a state sponsored Spanish football club [[Atlético Madrid]] at that time, this European Games was advertised on the club's kits during the later half of their [[2014–15 Atlético Madrid season|2014–15 season]].
