Zaika Speaks out of Lukashenka’s Proposal on Helsinki 2: There Is The Hague As Well

What do the Minsk Forum have in common with New Vasyuki?

Head of the Strategy Analytical Center Leanid Zaika criticized Lukashenka's statements at the International Conference "European Security: come back from the brink," Salidarnasts writes.

- Lukashenka's invitation to come to us and make arrangements are such a provincial point of view," the economist stated in an interview. - What brink? There is none. The modern war will last 6 minutes and 24 seconds. And no one will know about it, except the generals. Safety is indivisible. The safety is common for Belarus, Ukraine or Switzerland.

And in general, Leanid Zaika is very sceptical about such a forum.

- This is a typical party and economic conference for European officials," he said. - Of course, Belarus should sometimes look out of the swampy abyss of our conservatism and cry out: come to us!

But Lukashenka's proposal to hold "Helsinki 2" in Minsk, the dialogue of the European Union with the Eurasian Economic Union, the dialogue between the CSTO and NATO and other ideas were compared to the statements of Ostap Bender.

- I understand that one can say anything in New Vasyuki. Let's talk about interplanetary safety in general," the economist says. - Well, why should one nail everything? Let's protect the safety of a citizen. The safety of Belarus should provide political and economic freedom and limit the violation of human rights - physical, legal, economic.

Leanid Zaika also suggested another name for the conference:

- It can be called "From edge to hugs". And there is no need to take on large projects like Helsinki 2, Helsinki 3 because there is also Nuremberg 2. There is the Hague as well...
