Belarusian Interfax joking

Belarusian Interfax demonstrates unheard-of sense of humour on 1 April. The agency informs, the U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice bought an elite apartment in the Belarusian capital. A 116-square-meter apartment in the historical center of Minsk was bought by the U.S. Secretary of State on 1 April.

According to realtors, Interfax running, who formalised the purchase, “windows of the apartment face the Svislach River, and Ms Rice can watch not only seagulls’ play, but also the sporting center opposite the house, where the head of Belarusian state plays hockey every week.”

Realtors also noted Ms C. Rice bought real estate property in the same house where famous Russian TV journalist Sergei Dorenko had purchased an apartment, as Interfax informs earlier. Sergei Dorenko criticised political course of Belarus when he worked for the First Channel (Russia).

Interfax notes that the U.S. embassy in Minsk refused to comment that information, referring to lack of knowledge. The U.S. reduced twofold (by 17 persons) staff of its diplomatic mission in Belarus on the demand of Belarus (this is not a joke).

It’s interesting to know, whether the information that Dorenko bought apartment in Minsk, spread by Interfax, was a joke, too.
