Ilyumzhinov: "The US government is trying to politicize the situation surrounding the FIDE"

FIDE President has once again proposed the Government of the United States to test him on a polygraph.

"For over a month I suggested that American authorities should let me undergo a polygraph test in any of their security services, be it FBI or CIA, related to the charges against me for alleged links with the Syrian leadership. Unfortunately, there is no response to my proposal so far", said Ilyumzhinov.

"All this suggests that the US government is not seeking the truth but trying to politicize the situation surrounding the World Chess Federation", concluded the head of FIDE.
