Trying to get an official comment of the Belarusian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, our channel was surprised to learn that it is not a mass media outlet.[/vc_column_text]
Foreign Ministry spokesman Zmitser Mironchyk refused to give Belsat a comment about Andrei Ashurkau convicted in Lithuania for three years for spying for Belarus, as he “does not consider our television channel a media outlet.” Mironchik did not specify if it is the official position of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. He simply hung up.
