Belarusian Leader Says Russia Cares Not for Her Citizens :: Charter'97 :: News

Alexander Lukashenko considers the decision of the Polish government not to let Russian Chechens to its territory to be a politically motivated decision. In an interview to the press on Wednesday Lukashenko said that the Belarusian side had been aware of the fact that “a month ago the so-called “democratic leadership” of Poland ruled to prevent the incomers from the Kavkaz region from penetrating deep into its territory”. Lukashenko was angered by the silence of the Russian embassy and consulate, which don’t care at all about the destiny of their citizens.

Lukashenko also stated his intention to “bring the issue to the attention of the Russian government in the strongest possible way”. “One cannot treat his citizens that way,” – added he.
The head of state declared that the Belarusian side would adequately react to the Polish side’s decision. “Belarus accommodates around 150thsd illegal immigrants, who are dying to cross the Belarusian-Polish border,” – said Lukashenko. He underlined that it is us who “are restraining them” and we may stop doing that at any moment. “We got to fight these illegal workers, whereas the Poles don’t feel like doing it and launch numerous provocations at our border,” – said the Belarusian ruler.
