Lukashenka’s Former Press-Secretary Appointed to the Position of Deputy Minister of Information of Belarus

Pavel Lioh­ki is well-known in jour­nal­ist cir­cles of Belarus for lead­ing Alexan­der Lukashenka’s Press Ser­vice for 10 years, since 2003 till 2013. Unlike some of his col­leagues, he was in touch with the press, regard­less of the sta­tus of media out­lets.

The lat­ter sub­sti­tut­ed Liliya Ananich on the post.
