Lavrov warns Minsk against human rights violations

Russia will not turn a blind eye to the facts of human rights violations in Belarus despite the fact that the two countries are currently developing strategic ties.

A statement to this effect was made by Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov during his interview with the Russia Today news TV channel on Thursday.

Moscow is not going to stick to double standards, Lavrov pointed out, slamming the Belarusian authorities' clampdown on the opposition after the disputed December 19 presidential elections in Belarus, which saw a landslide victory of Alexander Lukashenko.
