So, the question of a Russian journalist about whether the documents ARDLE become something of Nansen, Grande replied:
“I don’t know. On the one hand, it is important that people have the documents. But, on the other hand, it is impossible that steps had been taken, which complicate the Minsk peace process. I’m not saying this so please don’t get me wrong. But we must remember that the main task — to reach a settlement”.
While Grandi stressed that the League of Nations gave the documents to stateless persons, that is not true of the inhabitants ORDO.
“And then, Nansen passports were issued to stateless persons without documents. And they were given a League of Nations,” he added.
