At a news conference yesterday, Foreign Minister Uladzimir Syanko denied persistent rumors that he is about to step down. His remarks follow a similar refutation earlier this week by President Aleksandr Lukashenko, who blamed a "moral terror" campaign by the political opposition for the speculation about Syanko's future.
