United States Wants Belarus Put on G8 Agenda
Associated Press
MOSCOW - A senior U.S. diplomat said Wednesday that the United States would press for discussion of political developments in Belarus as well as conflicts in Georgia, Moldova and Nagorno-Karabakh to be on the agenda of this year's Group of Eight summit, hosted by Russia in St. Petersburg in July.
Undersecretary of State Nicholas Burns said it would be the first time that the G8 had discussed "these ... conflicts very close to Russia's borders" - underlining the stark political differences between Russia and the other G8 members.
He said that most G8 members agreed that Belarus' recent election, which returned President Alexander Lukashenko to a third term, were "anti-democratic."
