In my opinion, the speaker of the National Assembly of Armenia, Alen Simonyan, is simply envious of the results that Belarus has achieved, and which his country has not achieved under the leadership of his team. It is simply envy, he said out of envy. Do you want to check my words? Just come to Belarus. Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA) spokesperson Maria Zakharova stated this at a press briefing Thursday

Zakharova. said that she had been to Belarus with her family many times, not only in the capital, Minsk, but also in some other cities. “What do I mean? Such successes that Belarus has achieved in the economic, industrial, production, agricultural spheres, Alen Simonyan: no, not as far as the Moon, much further. I simply call on everyone: bloggers, Armenia’s media: go to Belarus, then bring materials from there, and show Alen Simonyan the achievements of Belarusians, the Belarusian people, and the Belarusian leadership,” Maria Zakharova advised.

“Everything that Alen Simonyan said can be interpreted in only one way: some, you know, inhuman envy of the successes of the people and the country, which has not done anything bad. Go there yourself, see. I want to say again: I went and saw, and formed my opinion [about Belarus],” the Russian MFA spox added, in particular.
