MINSK, 6 August (BelTA) – The Belarusian Ministry of Foreign Affairs named the Venezuela president's assassination attempt a barbaric and appalling act of terrorism, BelTA learned from the ministry's Facebook account.
“The assassination attempt on Venezuela President Nikolas Maduro on 4 August, which resulted in seven people being injured, is a barbaric and appalling act of terrorism. The use of such hideous methods in politics will never be tolerated by Belarus. We will never accept any manifestations of terrorism and violence,” the statement runs.
