Press Secretary of the Foreign Ministry of Belarus Anatoly Eyes called the turn-to-Europe of the aircraft of the airline “Belavia” by direct violation of the norms of international law. The appropriate statement is published on the Office website.
“a completely blatant fact and an immoral act. Honestly, almost air piracy,” the representative of the ministry was indignant.
In the text of the message, he also referred to Article 87 of the Chicago Convention, which establishes that the adoption of restrictive measures against airlines is possible only by decision of the ICAO Council (International Civil Aviation Organization).
“As far as we know, I did not accept any such solutions,” the eye concluded.
