Defense Ministry: We advise you to abstain from interference in Belarus' domestic affairs

09.10.2020

MINSK, 8 October (BelTA) –The Belarusian Defense Ministry has responded to a digital message sent by a group of foreign citizens, who are members of the European Parliament, BelTA learned from the ministry's Telegram channel.

The response reads: “The people of Belarus has made its choice – it is a choice of over 80% of the Belarusians. We advise you to respect it and abstain from interference in Belarus' domestic affairs in order to focus on resolving the internal problems in your own countries.”

The Defense Ministry noted that attempts of individual members of the European Parliament to speak on behalf of the Belarusian nation look ridiculous and unconvincing. “The army has always been and will remain an integral part of the Belarusian nation, the nation that does not tolerate someone else's will being forced upon us,” the response reads. “The Armed Forces of Belarus have stated a sufficient number of times they are resolute and ready to defend the territorial integrity, sovereignty, and the constitutional system of the country. This is why the Defense Ministry sees no point in making additional explanations of its stance for individual foreign citizens.”
