The foreign Ministry said the US refusal of a visa to the Russian diplomats
Several Russian representatives, who were obliged to attend the 3rd preparatory Department of the conference 2020 parties to the Treaty on the nonproliferation of nuclear weapons in new York, were denied visas to the US, said the head of the delegation, the Director of the division of nonproliferation and observation arms of the Ministry of foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation Vladimir Ermakov.
"as a result of illegal actions of the United States, several Russian official commissioners were unable to participate in our forum," said Ermakov at the last meeting of the Department on the last working day of the week.
He added that " from the perspective of multilateral diplomacy, it is - absurd and totally unacceptable situation."
Ermakov said that "Washington is grossly violating its obligations under the 1947 Agreement on the headquarters of the UN, which clearly and unequivocally require North America ensuring safe passage in the territory of the host UN headquarters representatives or officials of member States of the UN and the issuance of visas" without charge and may be in the short term ".
a Department meeting was held in the headquarters of UN in new York from 29 April to 10 may. The preparatory Committee holds frequent sessions of 10 working days in each of the three years preceding the review conference. In accordance with the decision taken by the States parties in 2000, the goal of the first 2 sessions of the preparatory Department is to consider principles, objectives and ways of assistance to the full implementation of the NPT and its universalization and making recommendations on the subject of the conference to review the operation of the Treaty.
