MINSK, 8 August (BelTA) - If the CIS countries and their law enforcement agencies stand together, there will be neither color revolutions nor unrest, Belarusian President Aleksandr Lukashenko said as he met with the participants of the CIS Internal Affairs Ministers Council on 8 August, BelTA has learned.

There is no disagreement about this statement in the CIS countries, the president stressed. “All peoples of the Soviet Union fought and died by the thousands on the fronts. Moreover, the peoples of Central Asia sheltered millions of people from the territories that were occupied by fascists in the early years of war,” the Belarusian leader said.

According to the president, it will not only be a tribute to the memory of tens of millions of servicemen and civilians of the Soviet Union who died for the sake of the present generations to live. “It will be an appeal to the next generations with a call to preserve the historical memory and, most importantly, the truth about the most terrible war. We must remember that we are the descendants of the victors, and this is our great asset,” Aleksandr Lukashenko said.
“God forbid something terrible happen in our countries, in your independent states, when it would be necessary to resort to full-scale action of law enforcement agencies. We are not immune to this. If we stand together, there will be neither color revolutions nor unrest,” the president said.
In conclusion, the head of state thanked the participants of the meeting for their willingness to cooperate, for the desire to further intensify joint efforts to ensure security and law enforcement. “You should know: we are always ready to come to your aid, to act adequately. Let us not quarrel over trifles. It always puts an abnormal imprint on our work,” Aleksandr Lukashenko said.
“We are in favor of unity. We want to stand together with you. Otherwise, we will be torn apart, divided, and the powers that be (you know who it is) will take us warm without any effort. Let us stand together,” the head of state added.
