Diplomatic sources: Ambassador of Belarus to Armenia  recalled from  Yerevan at Armenian authorities` request 

ArmInfo.  The Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of the Republic of Belarus to Armenia, Alexander Konyuk, has been recalled from Yerevan at the request of Armenian authorities, ArmInfo was informed of it from  diplomatic sources.

The former Prosecutor General of Belarus was appointed Ambassador to  Armenia on November 19, 2020.  On April 17, it became known that  President of Belarus Alexander Lukashenko dismissed Alexander Konyuk  from his post. This event took place quite unnoticed, without any  noise in the Armenian press.

However, as ArmInfo learned, Belarus will not be assigning a new  ambassador to Armenia, this is the demand of the "velvet  authorities". "Lukashenko recalled Ambassador Konyuk at the request   of the Armenian authorities. As it is known, Armenia recalled its  ambassador Razmik Khumaryan for consultations in Yerevan last year  amidst tensions in bilateral relations, and he never returned to  Minsk.

Taking into account the above, the Armenian side has requested the  recall of the Belarusian diplomat. A new ambassador will not be  appointed here," the source said.
