Lukashenko: Tikhanovskaya had no reason to flee the country

MINSK – Opposition politician Svetlana Tikhanovska was not forced to leave Belarus, claims President Alexander Lukashenko.

“I swear to my children that Tikhanovska did not run away anywhere. She asked me to take her to the Lithuanian border, not only her, but several other people, which I did. So she didn’t run away. Do you want proof? We can give you proof. This is another lie, “the Belarusian president told CNN.

Europe and the United States believe that Tikhanovskaya’s victory was stolen, when she was second in the presidential elections in August 2020, at

In July, she had a meeting in the White House with US President Joseph Biden, who tweeted that he was “honored” to meet her and to ” The United States stands firmly with the people of Belarus in their search for democracy and universal human rights. “

In an interview with CNN, Lukashenko agreed to respond to the accusations and tried to reject all negative views about him. .

He spoke about human rights and said that the West will not be able to force all countries to “obey” its human rights standards, and that the same applies to electoral standards.

Lukashenko stressed that these standards are being improved in Russia and Belarus according to the OSCE recommendations, and that even that is not acceptable to Western countries because

The Belarusian president told the American television network that he did not even think of pursuing a vengeful policy towards Brussels due to sanctions, denying the claims of the Polish government that Belarus sends migrants to their border. , and stressed that his country can survive without the European Union market.

“Can you prove the claim that I decided to take revenge on the European Union? Do you consider me crazy? My country is in Central Europe and it is small. Just 210,000 square miles, nothing like the United States. Can 10 million people dictate the conditions for half a billion, how many live in the European Union? “, Said Lukashenko.

He added that Belarus has survived without the EU and will be able to survive in the coming years, directing its exports to the markets of Russia and China, but other countries with which it has friendly relations.

Lukashenko also stated today that, in the event of an armed attack, Belarus would be transformed into a single military base with Russia, in order to withstand aggression.

economic, political and military integration of Belarus and Russia encourages speculation that Lukashenko will be the last Belarusian president, as there are beliefs that he plans to formally unite his country with Russia, CNN reports.

Lukashenko is in a conversation for American television, he denied it.

“Putin and I are intelligent enough to create a union of two independent states that would be stronger than individual countries together. “Sovereignty is not for sale,” Lukashenko stressed.
