In a three-hour interview with Washington Post senior associate editor Lally Weymouth last week, Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko called Saakashvili a ‘son of a bitch,’ reports Georgia’s InterpressNews.
On the journalist’s presumption that Lukashenko would never have problems, Lukashenko answered:
“I won’t. Recently in Georgia, President Saakashvili suppressed in a most brutal way a manifestation of the opposition. Yet you continue to deal with him. Why? Because Saakashvili is your son of a bitch. Tell the Americans we think very highly of them. We will never build an iron curtain to prevent them from coming to Belarus.”
He accused the US of organizing rallies in Minsk during elections. “Who else to blame? You gave them money. Should I blame China? We will not allow you to create a fifth column in Belarus . . . to undermine the system in Belarus. My power is okay. But God forbid you to turn around the situation in our country and have events unfold…,” Lukashenko said.
