Deputy Chairman of the Committee on International Affairs Alexei Chepa:

“Unfortunately, in those Western countries that are trying to determine democracy in the world, democracy is far from being at the highest level. And this level is not comparable with democracy in our country that for a very short time was able to move from one economic system to another, to go a long way towards a multi-party system. And by the majority of democratic principles, today we are far ahead of many Western states, including the United States.

Therefore, let Rasmussen advise something to Trump and anyone in the West, let him tell them what to do and how. If people want to live there peacefully, if they really want to conform to the principles of the Alliance, if they want to live in peace, then let them act according to them and not to arrange any provocations. Rasmussen is a middle-aged man, and it would be time for him to wise up, which I advise him. I advise him not to interfere in the internal affairs of our neighbors and not to try to create new hotbeds of tension”.

Former NATO Secretary General Anders Fogh Rasmussen, in an interview with Polskoе Radio advised Belarus to follow the example of Georgia and Ukraine in relations with Russia.
