MINSK, November 28 (RIA Novosti) - Members of Russia's Kremlin press corps accompanying President Vladimir Putin on his trip to a CIS summit in Minsk left the conference venue Tuesday in solidarity with non-government reporters denied entry by the organizers.

Three correspondents, accredited to cover the summit for the Moscow-based independent newspapers Moskovsky Komsomolets and Kommersant, were reportedly barred entry to the National Library where leaders of the biggest post-Soviet alliance are holding their annual meeting.

To ensure that the gathering receives proper coverage in Russia, the Kremlin corps' journalists asked counterparts from state-run media to sit in for them at the wrap-up news conference.
