As the agency clarifies, we are talking about an open video message, which Zagortsev recorded in August before his appointment to the post.
In it, he called on the Russians not to interfere in the affairs of Belarus, supported the protests in the country, and also called on officials and security officials to go over to the side of the people.
Zagortsev also admits that he is proud of his children, who went to the barricades from the first day.
Earlier in Belarus, the head of the Yanka Kupala National Academic Theater in Minsk, Pavel Latushka, was fired after supporting the protests.
In late August, Belarusian leader Alexander Lukashenko dismissed the ambassador to Slovakia, Igor Leshchenya, who supported opposition protests.
