Foreign office slams OSCE Assembly's resolution as politicized

The Belarusian foreign office has rejected the proposal by the Malady Front youth group that the government declare August 23 a day for the commemoration of victims of Communism and Nazism as recently recommended by the OSCE Parliamentary Assembly.   Valery Varanetski, a deputy foreign minister, said in his official reply that the foreign ministry considers the OSCE Parliamentary Assembly's resolution politicized and controversial.
