Volfovich: Belarus doesn’t expel migrants by force to Poland and Lithuania
During today’s meeting with the staff of JV Santa Bremor LLC in Brest, State Secretary of the Security Council Aleksandr Volfovich touched upon the topic of migrants
“There are attempts by people from the Middle East and Central Asia to move to Europe in search of a better life. We, our border service agencies, are taking measures to prevent violations of the border. But such facts exist, and they do exist in any state. The talk that we are facilitating the flow of migrants to Europe is an absolute lie. The collective West demands from us to stop migratory pressure. But they don’t say that today the Poles are trying to force out more than a hundred people to the territory of Belarus every week. All the migrants that the Poles are pushing into our territory entered Europe from the ‘rear gate’ – our neighbours keep silence about this. Meanwhile, almost every week we record not just the displacement of migrants, but even the tossing of dead bodies and people beaten to an inhuman state. We provide them with qualified medical care, and they spend weeks in Belarusian medical institutions. Our neighbours don’t talk about this. Not a single person from Belarus was expelled by force to the territory of neighbouring states. There was not a single beaten migrant whom the Belarusian side would have thrown to the Lithuanian and Polish authorities.”
At the same time, Aleksandr Volfovich did not rule out that after these words, representatives of neighbouring states would try to fabricate something like that.
In conclusion, the State Secretary of the Security Council stressed that Belarus has been and will be a peace-loving country, “We are pursuing an exclusively peaceful policy aimed at showing good neighbourliness, mutual respect, we do not impose on anyone how to live and what to do inside the country. Unfortunately, the West and our neighbours are trying to demonstrate the opposite, dictating what needs to be done to be good.”
