PACE refused to consider the issue of the West’s role in Belomaidan
The PACE leadership avoided including on the agenda the Russian initiative to consider the role of the West in attempts to organize a coup in Belarus.
This was stated during the PACE session by the first deputy chairman of the Federation Council for international affairs, the head of the senatorial part of the Russian PACE delegation, Sergei Kislyak, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“I wanted to express my complete disagreement with the inclusion of an agenda item on Belarus. Moreover, in the form in which it is formulated, because there is no threat from Belarus to European countries. And this is an artificially contrived formulation.
And if we talk about Belarus, then, rather, about the intervention of external forces in the internal processes in this country, which should be discussed. Therefore, our delegation would like to put this issue to a vote.
We technically did not have the opportunity to do this. And I must say this with great disappointment.
Moreover, Mr. Chairman, after we requested the floor on Point Order, you took a vote on the entire agenda, and again I did not have the opportunity to express what we think,” Kislyak said.
