Belarusian delegation's visas denied

The Belarusian delegation, which was to be represented by the country's Foreign Minister Maxim Ryjenkov, did not receive visas to attend the Peace Council meeting in the United States. The Defense and Foreign Ministries reported that all documents were submitted on time and notifications were sent to the American side in advance. Nevertheless, the results of the review were not approved, and visas were not issued.

The agency noted that the question of how one can speak about 'peace' when even basic formalities are not ensured is obvious. According to the source, Washington has a 'simple concept': declare commitment to peace for the media, but act otherwise.

The buttons: 'SUBSCRIBE' and 'SEND NEWS' were added at the end of the message.
