The vast number of Western media ignore the facts of human rights violations in Ukraine and lawlessness Kiev authorities against its people, according to state Duma speaker Sergei Naryshkin.

" the vast number of Western media is very biased light of the current severe crisis in Ukraine, ignore the facts of human rights violations and, frankly, lawlessness Kiev authorities against their own people, " said Naryshkin on Thursday in the state Duma at the meeting with the delegation of the lower house (National Assembly) of the French Parliament.

However, he expressed gratitude to the French Parliament for preparedness to continue contacts with the Russian people's elected representatives.

" We appreciate that in the present circumstances, when the degree of tension in the EU is quite high, you keep this constructive, balanced approach and self-assessments, and demonstrate readiness to continue the dialogue and to develop inter-parliamentary cooperation ", - said the head of the lower house of the Russian Parliament.

in April, the parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe in connection with the annexation of Crimea has deprived the Russian Federation the right to vote at its meetings, participation in the work of the statutory bodies of the Assembly and to participate in monitoring activities of the organization. In response, the Russian delegation left the meeting PACE to the full restoration of all rights delegation. The range of capabilities of all delegations are updated every year, for this reason, and the deprivation of voting rights is effective only until the end of the year.
