Lukashenko: voice of all those who stand for peace is more important today than ever before
The voice of all those who stand for peace, seek co-operation, and share the ideals of justice and global equality is more important today than ever before – as stated by President of Belarus Aleksandr Lukashenko during a wreath-laying ceremony at the Victory Monument in Minsk
The Head of State reminded, “Victorious May 1945 brought invaluable peace to humanity. However, not everyone liked its value. Our former allies saw only themselves as the sole victors of Hitler’s Germany. As in the early 1940s, the West is ready to make a deal with any evil in order to maintain its dominance.”
According to the President, the horrific experience of the apologists of the defeated Third Reich has already found its followers in the West.
“It has received a new reading and a beautiful wrapper. The modern-day Nazis no longer walk in boots and black shirts, but act much more deviously and cynically. Without any hesitation, SS men and nationalists of all stripes are praised and welcomed in Europe. They are given a standing ovation by the heads of state, who have forgotten the results of the Nuremberg trials. Without regard to history, morality and law, they began to pit countries and peoples against each other again. To do this, the ideas and methods of the Nazis were revived.”
The President pointed out that dialogue and co-operation are rejected immediately, while material benefits are put at the top of everything, “Today we see this through the example of the events in Ukraine, Syria, the Gaza Strip and other hot spots of the planet. Thousands of people die every day around the world. Even more remain homeless, live in inhumane conditions, suffering from hunger and thirst. Explosions are booming over the fields of former battles again, there is a smell of gunpowder and civilians are dying.”
“The voice of all those who stand for peace, seek co-operation, and share the ideals of justice and global equality is more important today than ever before. However, we don’t hear those voices. We know how such silence ended in the last century. Today they want to push us into the same abyss again,” Aleksandr Lukashenko underlined.
