“I am grateful to him [Pazniak] that he quoted the things I said at the All-Nation Belarusian Convention. The West paid Belarusian opposition, I am quoting Pazniak now, and they [opposition] say the things that the Western politicians need,” Lukashenka said at the meeting with the students of Belarusian State Economic University.
“Our so-called oppositionists admit this. They live from this, they have stalls there or here, but they bring the forage from there [from the West].”
Lukashenka also mentioned the double standards in the attitude towards the case of Belarusian human rights advocate Alies Bialiacki who was sentenced to 4½ years in prison allegedly for tax evasion.
“The information about where he kept the money was passed to us by the EU through Lithuania. Thus, in America, one may be sentenced to imprisonment for life, it is normal,” Lukashenka said.
In late October, Zianon Pazniak told a portal Interpolit that there was no real opposition in Belarus.
He also voiced the precise sum that was allocated for Belarusian opposition in 1999 — $1,700,000.
