The announcement by the assistant of the Russian president, Sergey Prikhodko, that Aleksandr Lukashenko's statement promising to recognize Ossetia and Abkhazia could be published, was made after a direct order from Dmitri Medvedev, reports ITAR-TASS.
Belorussian president Aleksander Lukashenko responded that he does not want to comment on this statement and that the Russian side inconsistently and dishonestly pulls phrases out of the discussion.
The reply of the Russian side was that they can publish the part of the discussion where the leader of Belarus speaks on the matter. Some other facts, which may be interesting for the international community and Belorussian society, could also be published.
