Russia and Belarus
Belarus
- a pedestrian at an intersection, which is that he was not shot down,
to look in all directions. This metaphor has described the
Russian-Belarusian-European relations, President of Belarus Alexander
Lukashenko, while the last Monday in front of representatives of
Russian publications.
According to Izvestia, Lukashenko believes that his country is obliged to use his position - between Russia and Europe, far from the center of the latter. According to him, Belarus is a resource, "it is God." "The Belarusians same, except the brain, hands, and this resource does not. The central position gave us the opportunity that we have not bypassed. After we pave the way from west to east and from north to south. We are the intersection of these trails: Leningrad - Odessa, Berlin - Moscow. pipelines, air transport. There was no free space for the flight of the aircraft. This should bring some benefit to our people, "- said Lukashenko. That's why in addition to cooperation with Russia Minsk not so long ago entered into a cooperation program with the EU under the name "Eastern Partnership".
According to Lukashenko, Minsk Moscow itself has led to a convergence with Western neighbors. That helped, for example, trade policy of Russia, which had closed their markets to some of Belarusian goods. "You have to sugar prices jumped nearly 40% in recent times. I, when read, his head began. Guys, this is a crime in front of their own people. Why are you closed the market for our sugar? It would be enough to market sugar there would be no such price. Then, as a result of polutoragodichnoy fight, we bring you a quota of 150 thousand tons. The rest you have to deliver. Seven million tons of sugar to deliver! What is 150 thousand tons in the background? " - Boil Lukashenko. "Why did you shut down now the market for our tractors, automobiles, where a farmer said:" Give me a Belarusian MTZ, our whole life to work, and they are satisfied with us. Give! "And he banks say:" No, by the Belarusian loans do not get "- he continued.
However, the economic cooperation between Moscow and Minsk connection is not limited to, because there is a war. "West of Moscow does not have a single soldier. Do not be here Belarusian army - and that yes God forbid, if we took the course as the Ukraine, on European security, the North Atlantic bloc?" No war for Smolensk missiles. Do not be no strategic missiles : near Moscow, 300 km. But I said and I say: you do not take offense, but the tanks did not go through Belarus has quietly in Moscow and not go ", - said Alexander Lukashenko.
But with the military cooperation between the two countries, according to the Belarusian president, not all smooth. In particular, in Minsk unhappy with the prices on which Russia will sell weapons neighbor. "I ask:" Give us the prices for Russian weapons. "And we are told:" Pay all ". I say:" Guys, it seems that you let us defend, but the machine I will not give you, you buy it to die for Russia. "Here is a simple absurdity in matters of security. And so the question of security - the issue is the number one", - explained the Belarusian leader.
Since the union of Russia and Belarus in one State, which all speak, but which has been a year that nothing is being done, too, as it turned out, not all smooth. As explained by Lukashenko, the implementation of this ambitious plan would have the appearance of the new Republic of Belarus on the ground in Chechnya sample 1990. "Many people say: Belarus should enter into Russia. Well, but we, as leaders, must calculate the consequences. Suppose I accept that decision. What about tomorrow? .. Here we scumbags - albeit a few, two percent, but they are most active. They are ready to deploy a war of national liberation. They need a reason. And you think that, they have nothing to fight? them tomorrow bring weapons from Ukraine, the Baltic states and Poland. And many in society think: listen, they are fighting for independence for the sacred. We have to Boarussii smart people, he thinks the same way as the Russians - their own land, do not give, rvanuli shirt - and went. Besides, this is the end of Lukashenko and all that he did here . Empire should be restored to the new principles of modern. In the best sense of the empire "- entered the Belarusian president.
