LYASKOVICHI, 4 October (BelTA) - Foreign labor migrants and their families who come to Belarus must be treated as our own people, Belarusian President Aleksandr Lukashenko said during a working trip to Gomel Oblast, BelTA has learned.
When touring the Agro-Lyaskovichi agricultural company, the head of state inquired whether the enterprise had enough workers. It turned out that they also hire foreign nationals – several individuals from Turkmenistan are already employed and have proven themselves well.

Aleksandr Lukashenko approved of this approach but recalled that the responsibility for attracting labor migrants lies with the heads of enterprises and organizations. They must decide for themselves whom and how many people need to be recruited. Moreover, it is better if they come with their families from the start, as their attitude toward work and their sense of responsibility are entirely different in that case, the head of state noted.
“We must treat them as our own people. We need to educate their children and provide them with healthcare services. You are doing the right thing. There's a Belarusian saying: 'Throw something ahead, and you will find it later’ (meaning you reap what you sow0. Therefore, we should focus, especially on the republics of the former USSR. These are our people, after all,” the president stated.
Journalists talked to one of the Turkmen workers. Vepa Durdiyev has been working at the enterprise for three months as an assistant calf attendant. The man said he came from Turkmenistan with friends and plans to continue working. “The work here is good. The management and colleagues treat us well. They gave us an apartment; we have everything we need,” he noted.
