OSCE PA supports Belarus’ idea to restart Helsinki Process

MINSK, 29 April (BelTA) - I support the idea of Belarus to restart the Helsinki Process, Chairman of the OSCE Parliamentary Assembly George Tsereteli told reporters after the meeting with Belarus President Aleksandr Lukashenko, BelTA has learned.

“The OSCE sees Belarus as a very important partner in the implementation of the goals and the basic principles of the Helsinki Process," George Tsereteli said. “I am glad to see that the president supports the principles of the Helsinki Process which are currently being violated. I welcome the idea, which was voiced by the head of state, on the need to return to the principles of the Helsinki Process,” he noted.

He spoke against changing them drastically. It is more important to remind everybody about the need to abide by these principles. "They must be strengthened, perhaps through preventive mechanisms,” the OSCE PA chairman said.
