Statement
by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Belarus
December
5, 2005,
Minsk
Washington
and Brussels are again trying to overtly interfere in the law-making process
in Belarus, thus violating the principle of non-interference into internal
affairs of other states which is the core of international relations.
The
National Assembly of the Republic of Belarus as legislative body is
empowered by Constitution of the Republic of Belarus to independently
exercise legislative functions.
The
adoption by Belarusian parliamentarians on behalf of their voters of laws
aimed at upholding public order and external security – an integral element
of securing sovereignty and territorial integrity of our country. While
working out the bill Belarus has taken into due account international
experience, including that of a number of European States.
Threats
and restrictions have recently become common in the US and EU diplomatic
policy towards countries rejecting their political views.
We again
point out to the USA and the European Union: such approach makes no adequate
basis for developing closer and deeper relations with Belarus. We put
forward another basis – equal and mutually beneficial dialogue on the whole
range of bilateral issues.
