Lavrov shamed the OSCE for the lack of response to attacks on journalists in Kazakhstan

“This is just embarrassing for an organization that positions itself as a beacon.

The West says that the OSCE is the gold standard (in protecting the rights of journalists. -

).

Here the "gold standard" once again proved that this standard is double," the minister said.

He recalled the silence of the OSCE during the threat to the lives of journalists, after which he drew attention to the calls to "live in harmony" after the stabilization of the situation by the CSTO forces.

“In this regard, the OSCE Secretariat is not far from the NATO Secretariat,” Lavrov concluded.

Earlier, the official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry, Maria Zakharova, said that the OSCE did not provide real assistance to journalists who were targeted by rioters in Kazakhstan.
