Russian State Duma speaker will take part in next PA OSCE session in Mongolia’s Ulan Bator

MOSCOW, July 1. /TASS/. Russian State Duma Speaker Sergey Naryshkin has said Wednesday he will participate in the session of the of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (PA OSCE) in Mongolia’s Ulan Bator. "We will continue working in PA OSCE. The next session will take place in Mongolia, in Ulan Bator. I am sure that the Mongolian authorities will fulfill their commitments in full and will accept delegations from all OSCE member countries. I will definitely make a speech at a session in Ulan Bator," he said. "Truth and reason will make its way, and no instructions, no shouts from across the ocean will not prevent Europeans from their wish and aspiration to be together and build our home - Europe - without dividing lines," Naryshkin said. "The destructive and aggressive policy of Washington and its allies will not be able to change the sovereign will of Europeans to define their future by themselves and the future of their home - Europe. For us, Europeans, such freedom is above all," he stressed. Finland’s Foreign Ministry spokesperson Vesa Hakkinen told TASS earlier on Wednesday that Finland will entry to Naryshkin to participate in July’s PA OSCE session. Such decision was made because Naryshkin is included in EU’s sanctions list, Hakkinen said. The Finnish Foreign Ministry held consultations until the very last moment about the possibility to allow them entry to the country as an exception. "I can confirm that Naryshkin is among those who will be denied entry," Hakkinen said. "I cannot disclose other names now, but the information about people on EU’s sanctions list is open," he added. "We consulted with other EU member countries, EU’s and OSCE’s leaders before making a final decision," Hakkinen noted. Read more
