Specially for "GP" Alexey Avdonin: "The situation on the border of Belarus and Poland with migrant refugees is actually a new form of international terrorism"

Alexey Avdonin, analyst at the Belarusian Institute for Strategic Studies:

- The situation on the border of Belarus and Poland with refugee migrants is actually a new form of international terrorism, which is used both against the Republic of Belarus and the European Union, and is focused primarily on deflecting the attention of the EU public from the problems associated with COVID-19 and deterioration of the socio-economic situation and the well-being of citizens. And, of course, the situation is being brought to the moment when NATO countries, under the pretext of fighting illegal migrants, can deploy a large group of troops on the borders of the Union State.This makes it possible at any time to turn the conflict into a kind of provocation and create conditions for a hot conflict on the borders of our republic.

In this case, migrants act exclusively as a tool in the escalation of the situation; the lives and suffering of ordinary residents of the Arab world are generally not taken into account. Attempts to solve some of our geopolitical goals and objectives, we see cynicism, blasphemy and bullying of migrants. After all, their number on the Belarusian-Polish border is insignificant, and the European Union can easily accept them and adapt them to European life, providing them with normal living and working conditions.And these migrants are ready to work, which they have stated more than once, as they said, and that they are going to visit their relatives.

In this situation, the Republic of Belarus behaves in accordance with international agreements and norms, supports and provides migrant refugees on its territory with everything they need. Our country aims to peacefully resolve this conflict within the framework of the existing norms of international law in relation to migrants and refugees with the support of the Russian Federation and the main countries of the European Union - primarily Germany and France.
