Editing Belarusians (section)

==Languages==
The two official languages of Belarus are [[Belarusian language|Belarusian]] and [[Russian language|Russian]]. Russian was made co-official with Belarusian after the [[1995 Belarusian referendum]], which also established that the [[Flag of Belarus|flag]] (with the [[hammer and sickle]] removed), [[My Belarusy|anthem]], and [[National emblem of Belarus|coat of arms]] would be those of the [[BSSR]]. The [[OSCE Parliamentary Assembly]] stated that the referendum violated international standards. Members of the opposition claimed that the organization of the referendum involved several serious violations of legislation, including a violation of the constitution.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.bielarus.net/archives/2009/06/04/1615 |title=› Беларуская Салідарнасьць » Сяргей Навумчык: Парушэньні ў часе рэфэрэндуму - 1995 |website=Bielarus.net |date= |accessdate=2017-01-10 |archive-date=2020-10-16 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201016201638/http://www.bielarus.net/archives/2009/06/04/1615 |url-status=live }}</ref>
