Belarus: Resolution passed by the Lithuanian Seimas: interference in the internal affairs of the country

“We note with disappointment that the resolution of the Lithuanian Seimas of September 10 is an arrogant and unsuccessful attempt to interfere in the internal affairs of Belarus,” said A. Savinych.

According to him, the resolution “reaffirms Lithuania’s absurd efforts to give meaning and meaning to its political actions.”

Lithuanian parliamentarians who supported this resolution “showed that they completely ignore the principles of good neighborliness, common sense and parliamentary ethics,” said A. Savinychas.

“In addition, with these actions, they undermine confidence in the credibility of foreign mediation proposals by showing their true rather than declarative meaning,” added the parliamentarian.

The resolution names Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko as an illegitimate leader and calls on the international community to take any steps to conclude new agreements with Russia as a crime against the nation, a de facto annexation of the country.

Russia is required not to interfere in Belarus’ domestic and foreign policy and to impose additional sanctions on Russia and the Belarusian regime in the event of an attempt to “limit the sovereignty of the country” against the will of the Belarusian people.

The international community is also called upon to offer the Belarusian people and their legal representatives a variety of political, economic, financial, visa and other assistance.

Belarus has been protesting for a month since the August 9 presidential elections, which were won by authoritarian leader Lukashenko, who has ruled the country since 1994. The opposition and Western countries consider these elections to be rigged.

The opposition claims that its candidate Sviatlana Cichanouskaya is the legitimate winner of those elections. After the elections, under pressure from S. Cichanouskaja, the authorities withdrew to Lithuania.

Mass protests in the country are being forcibly suppressed and the European Union is considering imposing sanctions on regime officials responsible for the violence and electoral fraud.
