"Who needs Armenians, besides ourselves? No one. Armenia should develop its economy and focus on its own resources. What France, what Macron? Tomorrow he will be gone, and everyone will forget about Armenia." Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko stated in an interview that Armenia should focus on developing its economy and relying on its own resources, as no one else will support them. Lukashenko also claimed that some post-Soviet countries seek to take advantage of Russia without offering anything in return. He made these remarks in an interview with the "Russia" TV channel, where he called for unity among CIS countries and criticized some members for their unfair attitude toward Russia. He emphasized that there will come a time when CIS countries will turn to Russia and Belarus for help again. "Who in America or the EU is waiting for products from Kazakhstan or Uzbekistan? No one. And Armenia? Besides us, who needs it? Nobody. Let them develop their economy and rely on their own resources. What France or Macron? Tomorrow, Macron will be gone, and everyone will forget about Armenia," Lukashenko stated.
Dear Armenian news! Stop promoting others' nonsense and lies. He is a criminal and sanctioned worldwide.
If you all cool down and think rationally this clown is kind of right… We as a country have nothing to offer we tried turn west and lost big chunk of land we been controlling for over 30 years and now we loosing whole Armenia where turks are in charge of our government.
It's interesting when the puppet of Russia, makes such comments. Lukashenko hasn't thought about what would happen to him without Putin's support. Lukashenko should also think about keeping his hands off a certain country's president's wife who is very close to Russia and is the proxy of Russia. When he mentions Armenians, he's insulting the entire Armenian Nation and the whole Armenian population within Armenia and in diaspora.
Fake president Lukashenko. False knowledge about Armenians.
I guess the guy is right in that Armenia should focus on developing its economy (and NOT multiplying its debt!) and relying on its own resources... He simply forgot to mention the capacity of the Armenians around the world
Stop covering hate propaganda ! This is not news! France doesn’t care about pronouncements by criminals like Lukashenko.
I admire his honesty, however either he will be out of power, or his country will be annexed by 2030. We have problems of our own to deal with.

In the meantime, he is right!
Beaucoup de Français Chrétiens soutiennent l'Arménie et les arméniens. Mais je pense que l'Union européenne pourrait faire quelque chose et donner la parole à l'Arménie lors de conférence du G7 ou G20 ! L'Union Européenne (UE) Parlement européen en France Représentation permanente de la France auprès du Conseil de l'Europe Conseil de l'Europe ?

3wHe can say things whatever he wants, essentially to cover up biassed and business dealings with Armenia's enemy. His comment and view I will take it with a grain of salt. I question if he knows about Armenians very close historical relation with France that can be traced more than 700 years, Armenians fought for France WWI and WWII and they are very active productive very well integrated community of France. When his country was under occupation about 50 thousand Armenians in WWll fought for freedom of Belarus, the Great Patriotic War against the Nazis. He forgets in 2020 in Vitebsk, the ceremony to thank Armenians who fought and liberated Belarus during WWII and many who lost their lives for Belarus and are buried there.. He also forgets his current Air Force is dependent on aircraft designed by Armenians and I wonder how many Armenian engineers are supporting. He has monuments thanking Armenians
