MINSK, 31 October (BelTA) – It has become a new ‘democratic’ trend to try to intimidate heads of sovereign states with the International Criminal Court, Belarusian President Aleksandr Lukashenko said as he addressed the 2nd Minsk International Conference on Eurasian Security on 31 October, BelTA has learned.
“The collapse of all tenets of democracy is evident. We see that there is a democracy for the domestic use, and there are democracies for export. What democratic values can explain the developments in the Middle East and Ukraine? Is it truly democratic to try to physically eliminate a person whom, for example, the United States and its satellites consider a threat to national security? Anyone - from a political and public figure to a businessman, scientist or journalist,” noted Aleksandr Lukashenko.
“Or a new ‘democratic’ trend - to threaten heads of sovereign states with the International Criminal Court,” the president added.
