Already said more than once — “All the secret sooner or later becomes obvious. Also long known that you can fool all the people some time but you cannot fool everyone always. But, as practice shows — wanting to step on their own rake tragic experience of Milosevic, Hussein, Gaddafi, Yanukovych (who was the only one in listed above the company has managed shamefully to hide in Russia, but remain still alive) and nothing taught. Official Minsk is repeating the mistakes of all of the above former leaders of their countries, and this can be seen with the naked eye.
That the Crimea, the official Minsk is a very serious problem — both in terms of the Russian leadership and citizens, including the Crimean. On the one hand, the official Minsk and the mouth of the President of the country Alexander Lukashenko and the head of the Ministry of foreign Affairs talking about the fact that Belarus de facto acknowledges Crimea as part of Russia. So, in March 2014, Alexander Lukashenko said: “Crimea today is part of Russia. You can recognize or not recognize, this will not change anything. From us, no one demands: let’s accept or not to maintain its entry into Russia. The situation is developing de facto. And we will be with Russia. What will be the de jure-it will be later.”
But then, in October 2014 at the memorable press conference, the head of state continued to regard the Ukrainian Crimea: “If you outright say that any state has taken away a part of the territory of another state, it is wrong, and I tell you this sincerely and openly acknowledge”. And a negative attitude to the project of new Russia: “I originally stated that the project, for example, the new Russia is not perceived by me. I stand for the unity and integrity of the Ukrainian state. That was not there frozen some conflicts, some areas of Transnistria, Nagorno-Karabakh, which always pose a risk of explosion.”
A similar position regarding the recognition of Crimea to Russia de facto, but not de jure at the beginning of April 2016 has sounded and the Belarusian foreign Minister Uladzimir Makei: “In politics we must proceed from realities. Today we proceed from the assumption, whose de facto Crimea. But this does not mean that we agree with something or disagree. We believe that now the main task — to keep territorial integrity and the inviolability of remaining part of Ukraine”. That is supposedly the official Minsk recognizes Crimea in Russia. However, as we know, the devil is in the details. And if you look to these details for the authorities of the Republic, and state organizations, Crimea remains part of Ukraine. And then it turns out that the official Minsk is lying that recognizes de-facto Crimea is part of Russia, and still considers it part of Ukraine.
So, for example, according to Belarusian portal tut. by Mogilev regional Executive Committee (regional government authority) recommended that the subjects of trade Mogilev not to sell maps and globes, which depicted Crimea part of Russia. This follows from the response of the city Executive Committee on the appeal of the activist of the Belarusian social democratic party (Hramada) Ihar Barysau.
May 25, Deputy head of trade and services Mogilev city Executive Committee Tatiana Abramovich Borisov sent a reply: “In accordance with the information of the Ministry of foreign Affairs of the Republic of Belarus, 27 March 2014, the UN General Assembly adopted resolution 68/262 (have recommendatory nature), which supports the territorial integrity of Ukraine within its internationally recognized borders and which does not recognize changes in the status of the Autonomous Republic of Crimea and Sevastopol on the results of the 16 March 2014 referendum Crimean average. On this basis, it is reported in the response, the Department of trade and services Mogilev regional Executive Committee recommended to the traders of Mogilev “to avoid selling political maps and globes, on the territorial affiliation of Crimea differs from that recognized by the world community”.
The same position is that Crimea still part of Ukraine — and adheres to the Republican state unitary enterprise “Belkartografiya”, included in structure of State Committee on property and is responsible for the release of official maps: “at its last cards of the Ukrainian Crimea. The same thing in school atlases and contour maps of the Belarusian production”.
How notes portal tut. by: “We contacted the Director of the enterprise Nikolay Personam and asked why the Crimea it was decided to “leave” a part of Ukraine. “We make a decision. Such cases all over the world, we always write a request to the state Committee on property, and they give the application to the Ministry of foreign Affairs and the Ministry of foreign Affairs we recommend. We have no instructions to give [Crimea] is Russian territory.” On specifying question, did cartographers separate request in the Crimea, the source confirmed that the foreign Ministry does not recommend to make changes to products: “Yes, made a request. This is the official position of Belarus”. It turns out that a lie saith or Director of Belkartografiya” N. Verson or the Minister of foreign Affairs of Belarus Vladimir Makei.
Belarusian Railways also recognizes the Crimea part of Ukraine: “Train to Crimea from Belarus did not go with Dec 2014. But on the website of the Belarusian Railways, it is still possible to see how the company has designated the territorial affiliation of the cities of the Peninsula, when railway communication was with him. Crimea, according to the website of the Belarusian Railways, Ukrainian”.
However, the Republican unitary enterprise “Belpochta” recognize Crimea as part of Russia: “With the aim of developing communication between peoples through efficient functioning of postal services, ensuring the free circulation of postal items for a single postal territory, “Belpochta” was selected, the plan mail the assignment to the Crimea open transit through the territory of the Russian Federation”, — said in response to the “Belposhta” tut.by. They also added that this decision was taken in accordance with the requirements of the universal postal Convention on the administration of mail “is always the fastest way and using the most reliable means”.
Thus, in the words of the official Minsk declares one thing, and in fact the state enterprise and the territorial authorities, citing the foreign Ministry continues to consider the Crimea part of Ukraine. Only the price of gas, the official Minsk wants Moscow to reduce regularly, not realizing that the current price — there is a subsidy of the Russian economy, Belarusian, than, for example, Ukraine introduced a representative established in the European Commission Group for supporting Ukraine Thorsten Valert: “Everyone in Ukraine understands the situation when cheap energy is subsidized by a third country, in particular Russia, is a matter of the past. This should be subsidized in the country, but only the question — who should do it”. But if you have the economy of Ukraine Russia has subsidized the price of gas, the economy of Belarus that affects the order significant, because such low gas prices, no one in Europe. And Moscow still has to justify himself.
In this regard, it is unclear what the Russian Embassy in Belarus and how it responds to these facts is not friendly behavior of the “ally”. If the Russian Embassy is silent and believes that all is well and that is as it should be, then the foreign Ministry will continue to disregard Russian interests, and Russian foreign Ministry to be silent and to wipe, to wipe and keep quiet. That kind of friendship and a Union state. What else is there to say.
