YEREVAN, JANUARY 10, ARMENPRESS. The President of Belarus Alexander Lukashenko said that it is inadmissible that some people are falsely presenting the CSTO peacekeeping force in Kazakhstan to be an “occupying force”.

“We can see that such attempts have already been made,” Lukashenko said at the CSTO summit on January 10.

“We are not occupiers, we didn’t go there at our own desire. Our brother, our friend who is responsible for that huge country invited us there,” Lukashenko said.

He further underscored that the CSTO peacekeeping contingent provided the support which the Kazakh president asked for.

“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
