Lukashenko: we are open to all who come to us with pure thoughts and peace
Belarusians are open to anyone who comes to them with pure thoughts, and it is difficult for Belarus’ citizens to understand what motivates the European elites in their desire to isolate themselves and re-build the ‘iron curtain’ – as stated by President Aleksandr Lukashenko during his today’s meeting with representatives of different nationalities who live in Belarus
As noted by the Head of State, it sometimes seems that the peoples who come to Belarus leave mutual strife, reproaches and resentments at the border checkpoints – or ‘at the door’, as they say in Belarus. “How else can we explain that Arabs and Jews, Azerbaijanis and Armenians, Georgians and Abkhazians find a common language here, live in peace and harmony? I know how to explain: this is because all of you have become ours, Belarusians. We celebrate Victory Day and Independence Day together. We keep the memory of representatives of all nationalities who helped us liberate and then rebuild towns and villages destroyed by the Nazis,” the Belarusian leader reasonably stated.
According to Aleksandr Lukashenko, this memory is immortalised in the names of avenues and streets, and Belarusian parks, squares and educational institutions are named after the heroes.
The Head of State added, “We are absolutely open and will be open to all who come to us with pure thoughts, who come with peace. Therefore, it is difficult for Belarusians to understand what motivates the European elites in their desire to isolate themselves and re-build the ‘iron curtain’. Realising that this is a path to nowhere, we take unexpected, but natural and understandable steps in response: we open borders and address the peoples of Europe directly. Fortunately, they hear us. Interestingly, when coming to us, these people become even greater patriots of Belarus than we ourselves sometimes.”
Addressing the meeting participants, the President noted that each of them has their own life story, their own destiny, and probably even their own trouble. “The trials you have passed, the difficulties you have overcome, and the victory over circumstances evoke a deep sense of respect and sincere sympathy. I hope that you and your families have found peace and prosperity on our land,” Aleksandr Lukashenko stressed.
Opening a frank dialogue, the Head of State asked the participants of the meeting about how they live in Belarus and what else needs to be done to solve all problems, if any.
