Pavel Lyohki: My transfer to MFA has been discussed since Spring

Lyohki says that he is excited to try his skills at a new workplace, and assures that his transfer to the MFA is not connected with Uladzimir Makey's appointment there:

Lyohki: "The issue of transfer to another workplace was first raised this Spring - long before Uladzimir Makey left the position of the head of the Presidential Administration and headed the MFA. Don't look for any connections here. Frankly speaking, I found out about Uladzimir Makey's new appointment on the day of signing of the decree". 

According to Pavel Lyohki, he decided to change the job after a corresponding offer from the MFA. His new position is claimed to be advisor-ambassador in the Russian Embassy. 

Pavel Lyohki headed Lukashenka's press-center in May, 2003. He replaced Dzmitry Zhuk, who became the General Director of BELTA news agency.
