"The statement of the European Parliament is a gross interference in the affairs of Belarus," the press service of the lower house of parliament quoted him as saying.

Volodin noted that in Belarus in November last year, a parliament was democratically elected.

Then international observers confirmed its legitimacy.

“An attempt to take and replace government bodies calls into question the activities of the European Parliament itself.

If we compare this resolution with other recent actions of Western states, the accusations against Russia will become clear, ”said the State Duma speaker.

Earlier, the Belarusian Foreign Ministry said that the European Parliament's resolution on the republic is aggressive and does not contain a single constructive or balanced thesis.
