His rude nature once again prevailed over common sense. "I'm not going to comment this foolishness, - he said January 27 upon visiting Minsk central hospital: It is political boorishness. I'll tell you one thing - the West will never outplay me and create opposition out of my own men. There'll be no double standards here. As for the human rights, we respect them just inasmuch as they do it in the member-states of CoE. Do they think we are waging wars here, or what? Do we have national hatred and religious intolerance? No!" Lukashenko claims Belarus enjoys the lowest level of unemployment, guaranteed rights to live, receive free medical care, get educated and employed. "What other human rights are they talking about? It's a mere political populism. They wish there were another president here. But Belarusians don't think so. They wish there were another Parliament here… Let me tell you, guys, we will live the way we want to live and according to our own laws. And I don't care what they have passed there… Yes, it is not nice for us. But, I believe they will soon feel ashamed for their behavior, as they stick to the policies of double standards. ------------------------------------------------- This Discussion List is the follow-up for the old stopnato @listbot.com that has been shut down ==^================================================================ EASY UNSUBSCRIBE click here: http://topica.com/u/?a84x2u.a9spWA Or send an email To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] This email was sent to: [email protected] T O P I C A -- Register now to manage your mail! http://www.topica.com/partner/tag02/register ==^================================================================
