Lukashenko: Belarusians experience the hardest trials of fraternal Kazakhstani as their own tragedy
The President of Belarus, Aleksandr Lukashenko, has sent condolences to the President of Kazakhstan, Kassym-Jomart Tokayev – as BelTA learnt from the Belarusian leader’s press service
"The Belarusian people have apprehended with concern the dramatic events that took place in fraternal Kazakhstan. An organised attack of rebel groups on your country – which entailed numerous human casualties and destruction – has once again showed all of us the terrible threat that international terrorism poses to the world. The subversive goal of extremists is obvious: to destabilise multinational Kazakhstan, foment chaos, unleash a fratricidal war in the country in order to commit an unconstitutional coup and change the political course," the message of condolences reads.
Aleksandr Lukashenko noted that Belarus had previously faced such a challenge, so he well understands the severity of the situation and the enormous responsibility for the fate of the country that has come upon its leadership.
"Belarusians experience the hardest trials of fraternal Kazakhstani as their own tragedy. We express hope for the earliest possible establishment of peace and tranquillity on the Kazakh land and are ready to contribute in every way to stabilisation of the situation," the Belarusian leader stressed.
Aleksandr Lukashenko asked Kassym-Jomart Tokayev to extend his deep sympathies and condolences to the victims’ relatives and friends, and also wishes for a speedy recovery to the injured.
