Minister urged to follow common sense in making such decisions
Lavrov told in an interview to a journalist RT Anton Krasouski, that for the first time in three months of the pandemic he himself traveled abroad to Belarus and Serbia, although both visits were to take place in March.
Then Krasovsky asked the diplomat if he knew that now tourists fly to Turkey via Belarus with Belavia airline.
The Foreign Minister countered that the authorities cannot forbid the Russians to use this opportunity. According to him, when traveling in the era of a pandemic, people should have “caution and common sense.”
Lavrov was also unable to answer the question about the timing of the opening of the Russian borders, which were closed due to the threat of the spread of coronavirus infection.
In June, authorities allowed Russians to travel abroad to work, study or to treat relatives. The possibility of departure is also provided for those citizens who need to receive medical care abroad.
