Eismont: world media demonstrating enormous interest in Belarus’ President
There are about four dozen requests from foreign media for an interview with the President of Belarus – as stated by the Press Secretary of Belarus’ Head of State, Natalya Eismont, in her talk to Glavny. Tur. LIVE
“I can't help but note an enormous interest,” Ms. Eismont said. “I have about four dozen requests kept in a folder on my desk at the Palace of Independence: these are requests for an interview with the President. Western [media], the Arab world, and, actually, all regions have sent them.”
Ms. Eismont added, “I want also to note: we understand perfectly well that the President has not talked to major federal Russian media for quite a long time. We understand this perfectly well and hear signals from [reporters] Vladimir Solovyov and Dmitry Kiselyov. We are scheduling such a major interview for the end of the year: it will be very good to talk with our Russian friends and colleagues, to sum up the results of the year which is quite good in terms of integration. Therefore, I am now setting a task for myself (there is a truly huge interest in the President) to find some time at least once a week in the President's busy schedule to satisfy this interest and organise at least a brief conversation with someone from the foreign media.”
