Belarus justice minister comments on removal of Belarus state flag in Riga
Oleg Slizhevsky
MINSK, 28 May (BelTA) – The actions of the mayor of Riga and the Latvian foreign minister in respect of the state symbols of the Republic of Belarus evoke very negative emotions, Belarusian Justice Minister Oleg Slizhevsky told BelTA as he commented on the incident with Belarus state flag in Riga.
“These actions provoke very negative emotions. The current state symbols of the Republic of Belarus were approved at the nationwide referendum in 1995. Belarusians voted for these symbols themselves,” Oleg Slizhevsky said.
State symbols are also a manifestation of a country s sovereignty. “The way some political figures allow themselves to treat state symbols can arouse only negative emotions,” the minister noted.
