"Amid lingering discrimination against compatriots in a number of
countries, primarily in the Baltic countries and Ukraine, it is necessary to
improve approaches to protecting their political, civil, and ethno-cultural
rights," Lavrov was quoted by Interfax as saying in his opening remarks at
a meeting of the Board of Trustees of the Fund for the Support and Protection
of the Rights of Compatriots Living Abroad.
The situation today makes it necessary "to step up efforts to protect
the Russian language, preserve cultural heritage and historical memory, and
generally tackle discrimination, including at the everyday level," Lavrov
said.
He gave high marks to the fund's work to this end, which is taking place
"in full compliance with the norms of international law."
"This also concerns efforts we are now taking in cooperation with
several other countries in the United Nations, OSCE, and the Council of Europe
in connection with the outrageous education law endorsed by the Ukrainian
Verkhovna Rada," the foreign minister of Russia said.
