Belarusian MFA shocked by PACE resolution

The Belarusian Ministry of Foreign Affairs says the resolution of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe creates an impression that the adoption was an impulsive action.

“The first reading of the text makes an impression the adoption of the document was an impulsive action taken under the influence of random factors and political fluctuations. PACE says it is ready for a dialogue with Belarus, but at the same time decides to suspend all contacts with the country,” Belarusian MFA spokesman Andrei Savinykh told BelaPAN.

In this situation, Savinykh emphasized, the Belarusian party demonstrates a more coherent position: “we regard a dialogue as a means of solving all current issues, reaching understanding and expect our partners to come to the same conclusion.”
