MINSK, 15 June (BelTA) – In an interview with Al Arabiya, Belarusian President Aleksandr Lukashenko said that he is in favor of global nuclear disarmament, BelTA reports.
One of the questions put to Aleksandr Lukashenko suggested that if Israel and the USA attacked Iran on the pretext of stopping its nuclear program, other countries might be tempted to acquire nuclear weapons as a nuclear umbrella to protect themselves from similar strikes.
“Indeed, many countries talk about it, but it is a path to nowhere. It is a path toward annihilation. Because if you have a gun hanging on the wall, it stays there only for a time. But a gun is meant to be fired. So today we say that nuclear weapons are a deterrent. But for every country in the world to possess nuclear weapons is a path to nowhere. Sooner or later, a nuclear conflict could erupt, and the planet would be destroyed. So I am not in favor of nations having nuclear weapons,” Aleksandr Lukashenko said.
