Lithuanian, Poland and Latvia statements about Belarusian involvement in the unleashing of the migration crisis in the European Union (EU) countries are unfounded. This opinion was expressed by the Minister of Foreign Affairs (Foreign Ministry) Vladimir Makay, BelTA reports.
According to him, the country has always followed the principle of good neighborliness and has long been inviting the Baltic republics and Poland to resolve the migration crisis on the borders.
“Even a simple town man is clear: 10 millionth Belarus objectively can not lead not only a hybrid war, but no war with a 500 million European Union, even if she had the muscles of Arnold Schwarzenegger,” said Mikeya and called these accusations of unscrupious lie.
The Foreign Minister also noted the irresponsibility and unreasonability of neighbors in the construction of a barbed fence on the border with Belorussia as a decision of a migration issue instead of a dialogue. He explained that it could lead to the opposite effect and only aggravate the position.
The migration crisis at the borders of Belarus and the European Union began at the end of May. Large groups of illegal migrants from Africa and the Middle East began to storm the borders of Lithuania, Poland and Latvia in the hope of obtaining refuge in the European Union.
In the current situation, the country accused Minsk. It is assumed that the Belarusian authorities use the National Tour Operator “Centerkurort” to cross the migrants to the EU borders and earn it.
