Member of Parliament Vagharshak Hakobyan from ‘Civil Contract’ faction condemned the President of Belarus Alexander Lukashenko’s recent remarks on Armenia.
“Yesterday, in an interview with Vladimir Solovyov, the President of Belarus Alexander Lukashenko made inadmissible comments unfitting to a head of state, saying ‘who needs Armenia’ and so on. These kind of remarks are truly condemnable. The leader of our partner country does not have the right to voice such views about other partner country. I’d like to remind who needed Armenia during the latest Kazakh events, and I am sure that Mr. Lukashenko very well realized who needed and who needs Armenia,” Hakobyan said.
In the interview, Lukashenko said the Union State between Russia and Belarus should expand during the upcoming 15 years and include most of the ex-Soviet republics, including Ukraine, Armenia, Kazakhstan and other Central Asian states.
Particularly, speaking on Armenia, he said “Armenia has nowhere to run…..what, you think anyone needs them?”
