MINSK, 9 May (BelTA) – Diplomacy of the interstate dialogue is unconvincing without an effective security system. Belarus President Aleksandr Lukashenko made the statement during the army parade held on 9 May to mark the 75th anniversary of the Soviet people's victory in the Great Patriotic War of 1941-1945, BelTA has learned.
Aleksandr Lukashenko said: “Belarus is a peaceful and open country. But our historical experience has vividly demonstrated that the diplomacy of interstate dialogue is unconvincing without an effective security system.”
The Belarusian head of state stated that the world is ignoring tragic lessons of the past. “The farther we are from events of the Great Patriotic War, the more aggressive and dangerous the world becomes. The planet is ablaze with new armed conflicts, civilians get killed once again. And ideas of Nazism come to life in this situation. They leave a mark as destroyed monuments to liberators, as the glorification of Nazi criminals, falsification of historic facts about World War Two,” Aleksandr Lukashenko noted.
