Makey: Europe cannot replace Russia for us, at least not today


Belarus Foreign Minister has given an interview to The Wshington Post.

During the interview, the journalist of the American media outlet asked if improvement of relations between Belarus and Europe will be a threat to Russia. The Minister said that our country is not going to give up the friendship with Russia for the sake of friendship with Europe.

“Let’s be honest. Europe cannot replace Russia to us, at least not today. We understand that in difficult times we will always be with Russia. And Russia has helped us when we had problems in various fields. Our countries are very close, and we understand that we will support each other in difficult situations,” said Uladzimir Makey.

The interview of the The Washington Post journalist with the Minister took place just before the Eastern Partnership summit in Riga.
