"My opinion is that temporary economic difficulties are justified when you defend human rights, freedoms and common fundamental, eternal values," the minister has told BNS in an interview.
"Any sanctions – be it Belarus, Russia, Iran or any country in the world – have economic consequences. But they are not imposed for nothing; (they are imposed) to protect human rights," she said.
