"On Point"
MINSK, 20 March (BelTA) - The support of Belarus is vital to the Iranian people in difficult times, Doctor of Historical Sciences, political expert Nikolai Platoshkin said in the latest episode of the V Teme [On Point] project on BelTA’s YouTube channel.
“I consider the president of Belarus to be an exemplary leader, as he was, in my view, among the first in the CIS to invite the Iranian ambassador and say: ‘Please tell us, we will provide any assistance if needed’. That is of great value for the future. I am more than confident that this will endure in the hearts of the Iranian people for a very long time,” Nikolai Platoshkin said.
As reported, on 4 March Belarusian President Aleksandr Lukashenko met with Iran’s Ambassador to Belarus Alireza Sanei. The head of state immediately made it clear that this meeting was not merely symbolic.
“You know that Belarus has always been and continues to be a strong advocate for peace. War is genetically unacceptable to us, because having been at the heart of every war, Belarus knows very well what war truly is. We lost millions upon millions of people in all the wars that took place in our region. Most global wars rolled eastward and back again through Belarus,” the president said.
Aleksandr Lukashenko stated his intention to discuss the situation in the Middle East and in Iran with the ambassador. “I would like to ask how Belarus could be of help in this situation, given the position the country has taken on the conflict. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has stated this quite transparently. This is the position of the Belarusian leadership and of the Belarusian people,” the head of state added.
