EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT WON’T SEND OFFICIAL DELEGATION TO NEMTSOV’S FUNERAL
18:57, 2 March, 2015
YEREVAN, 2 MARCH, ARMENPRESS. The official delegation of the European
Parliament will most likely not be attending the funeral of Russian
oppositionist Boris Nemtsov. “An official representative of the
European Parliament will most likely not be attending the funeral of
Nemtsov”,” Vice-President of the European Parliament Richard Charnetsky
mentioned, as “Armenpress” reports, citing RIA Novosti.
According to Charnetsky, that is due to the actions of the Russian
government, which recently refused to grant entry visas to two
representatives of the European Parliament, as well as to President
of the European Parliament Martin Schulz’s “precaution”, who “doesn’t
want to create further tension” in relations with Russia.
