uh, it means the general assembly, where he outlined several problematic points and two main points - this is what the un is actually doing now, uh, the role of the mouthpiece of the west and nato , yes, that is, well, it means that the platform says yes, the current state. uh, it means that the influence of the west on the composition of the united nations has been brought to such a situation. uh what do most countries prefer uh? support the us or the west not only in relation to russia on any issues. unfortunately. if they do n't support them, then they just abstain, then there are mechanisms that allow you not to express your position. and thanks to these mechanisms. if someone had set themselves the task of passing a resolution at the un today that the republic of belarus would be called a locomotive , the planet would have solved the problem, that is, they would have held

it there, so we are very adequately aware of the added value of our participation in the un ah . we absolutely adequately see the practical value that we can extract. that is, in addition to the policy of their information. this is the first main point, yes, which we actively use, but the second point is very practical things. yes, that is, there is a very widely developed network of special institutions of the program of funds that help countries in development issues. this is the un development program and the un children's fund and the same un economic commission for europe and the world intellectual property organization, a number of others, and organizations including the same world health organization, which has done very, very, very much in order to mean in in the end, the consolidation the international community went in such a constructive way, yes, that is, and uh, belarus

actively used this experience. this is the experience of all these structures. they were created for what? yes? in order to cooperate in order to exchange best practices there, this work is ongoing. we, as a country, use this to bring the best practices and methodologies, including managerial ones, to the country in belarus, to the state, including the sector in particular. yes, and this is a method of perfection. this is one of improvement tools. he does not build hospitals and schools in belarus with our system. we've been through this for a long time, but he helps us tune our system well, three letters we've discussed. now let's discuss four letters nato is not a secret that today at our borders, but they are increasingly accumulating their military contingents. yes, i don’t want to draw an analogy, but i remember well how diplomacy works, including on the eve of the

great patriotic war, when this also happened. yes, there was a molotov-ribbentrop pact and his task was. if the school memory does not change. yes , all the same, precisely in order to delay the war as much as possible and to minimize the possibility as much as possible. right now, this is the beginning of it. so i understand that the assessment of molotov's personality has changed at different times, but from laudatory conjectures, but today, what our diplomacy can offer today, that is, in fact, your department to minimize the possibility of military confrontation. but here i want to point out. the triad of our approaches, taking advantage of folk folklore, and if you don't want to feed someone else's soldier, then feed your own. and if you want peace, then

get ready for war, and the third one who comes to us with a sword will mark and die, so in fact there are several aspects of the work of diplomacy in this area, the first and unconditional is strengthening our defense capability. for this, there are tools and a union state, our military-political union, a joint military doctrine of the state of the union state of belarus, russia. for this, there is an organization of a collective security treaty, which, with in all nuances, it has proved its capacity in kazakhstan and is now actively working on the situation in the area of ​​the armenian-azerbaijani border. and i think that this organization will continue to grow in the foreseeable future. we will see, uh, serious steps in this direction, belarus will chair this

organization in 2023. and we are planning to seriously work to ensure that, uh, this structure will additionally actively contribute to our defense capability and security, in addition to. strengthening our own defense capability with you. we naturally speak in confidence with neighbors it is difficult to talk about confidence-building measures now for some of our neighbors, but nevertheless they exist and we are implementing them both within the framework of the osce and within the framework of other international agreements. we are transparent. we invite both our partners and our partners in quotation marks to the exercise, and we continue all the proper diplomatic work in international global forms and in the disarmament convention and within the framework of the general assembly, where belarus is the traditional author of its resolution

countering the development of new types of weapons of mass destruction. that's it, this is our image of this, when we have been saying for many years that belarus is, well, this is a regional security provider. in my opinion. this is an absolutely responsible position and we continue to lead as well. here, if we imagine, purely hypothetically, that we would offer our country to nato as a partner. that's right. we are ready to enter tomorrow. how quickly all claims and accusations of violating rights and freedoms in belarus would fall away is a cliché the last dictatorships of europe well, and other tinsel that has now surrounded us for many years, how quickly it would go away in your opinion, if we imagine the twentieth year, and even imagine that the protests won. here we have already discussed with you what, in my opinion, is the result. uh, this our country would, of course, have chosen

the liberal-democratic path of development and , accordingly, we would have made a geopolitical u-turn. well, yes, that is, moreover, diametrically opposite neutral opposites. in my opinion. would lead the collapse of our colossal socio-economic model. and in fact, it would lead to the loss of that state, as we understand it in its current form, because to destroy the ties that we have been building with russia for 30 years and be at a level many times lower than the situation in ukraine in 2014, because that ukraine's ties with russia were at that time much less intense, lose the premium market , and lose opportunities for lending to mutual interaction. u with russia to lose that level confidence and, accordingly, energy prices. this is a huge huge loss. it would be a disaster

for you and me, when the state is for the majority, uh, the inhabitants of this country. so what do you really want to emphasize? imagine now what we will say tomorrow. accept us and they will accept us, well, they will most likely accept what remains of us. yes, but they will be happy. yes, but conceptually, i want to say that the west, uh, lives peacefully and exists in a whole number of countries, where uh? well, not weekly, but heads are cut off very regularly, where is the word democracy. e, that is, it is not present, not only in the constitutions, but in general in the political discus of these countries. it’s just that these states represent, e, a certain political or economic significance, as if for the united states as for the european union, therefore, of course, if at some stage we began to position ourselves as the fruit of e interests. uh, it means the west, i think

that the state and our neighbors would be very little, including recalling some moments of our internal order for belarus, the price for the west is that we are the shortest and most equipped road, a straight line without mountains with 600 km of wonderful concrete between the western border of belarus and the border of the russian federation. that is, this is an absolute clear geopolitical factor, and this space is the space that is the asset that the western elite is looking for from the point from the point of view of advancing one's interests to the east, to weaken belarus means to weaken russia, to weaken russia

, to weaken. belarus means weakening china, so the west is pursuing here very clear, simple their own interests, which is why they supported and registered the 2020 protests. first. if the protests won, they would have their own puppet government and a second one. the protests did not win, but they counted on the fact that these protests would seriously weaken our ability to withstand their impact and, accordingly, create a zone of turbulence for our russian allies as well. calculated miscalculated. it's good. here is another quiet and loud diplomacy. yes , the concept, in general, is known in one of interview. you used the first adjective in relation to our country. yes, we do not endlessly call on the carpet even those representatives of embassies, which it might not hurt to call on much more often. yes, we do not make

loud statements about the violation of the rights of european citizens. even when, well, they are crippled by european lyceums, what you were talking about, yes, this is really it. in general, then today consists. the work of our diplomats and let's get straight. how many active belarusian embassies are there now and how much. everything, this amount is reasonable. well in regarding quiet or loud diplomacy, huh? here , uh, there is a confusion of the concepts yes of everyday perception, what is diplomacy and diplomacy of practice, and e , it is clear that something quiet is embedded in the traditional such perception of the word diplomacy, something not public, some intimacy, there are receptions. ah, negotiations. uh, this is certainly a significant part of this work. and believe me, it continues both here and abroad. well, that's why she is quiet, yes, to

achieve uh, it means a lawsuit of their decisions, but by appropriate methods. yes, it is all rubbish from huts, what is called but also believe that we call on the carpet and not only call on the carpet. it's simple, of course. we all watched the film tas authorized to declare, and there it all is like yes, that is. well, that's it, it's somewhat different, that's not always a movie, and they don't always tell the press about it. yes, and a lot of things happen, but we know how to be loud, when necessary, we do not seek it, we adhere to the classical school in this sense, and we react when necessary, we react quite seriously, we react severely. uh and caustic it is possible to evaluate differently, this or that style is a matter of adequacy in a particular situation. and therefore, of course, today's diplomacy has this

element of politicization, when press secretaries are forced to express themselves in a very succinct way, let's call it this way, or when from the un rostrum it is very impartial to call a spade a spade. this is part of the modern. diplomacy regarding the system that we now have in our foreign institutions, there are 70 of them, if memory serves me, we are represented in 57 countries. so three quarters these foreign agencies are located in states with which we not only cooperate, with which we cooperate on an equal basis, we develop relations, therefore, from the point of view of the tasks of our diplomats. in these states, in fact, nothing has changed. this is a traditional task. uh, making friends in the political leadership of these countries. a-a to ensure the conditions for solving our main economic task of our

interest in increasing exports. that is, including for reorientation, defined on these countries for sure. that is, this is the creation of additional opportunities, if you like, and already to replace those opportunities that have fallen out that are closed to us due to the fact that, well, not carpet. dosages thank god but the economic sanctions imposed by western countries and closed for us a number of traditional opportunities back 1/3. uh. at this stage, in terms of personnel, the main goals of work in western countries of our foreign institutions are consular functions, that is, this is the provision assistance to our citizens in the realization of their rights, and any whether, then there will be on a power of attorney to receive a passport to assist in any difficult life situations. uh, and uh, of

course, where there are opportunities to maintain economic interaction. believe interest. uh, business has not completely died western business to our country. loss of multi-billion dollar turnover. with us did not pass for them. imperceptibly and taking into account all the economic factors that await europe in the near future, especially taking into account current current friction with russia, yes. e. i think that western business understands what it has lost, and it understands that brussels will not have an endless opportunity to recoup the national government. them. the way out is the antics that they allow themselves, if modestly noted. the actions of the lithuanian government, like e antics, which they

are considered comparable to the benefits of good neighborly cooperation with the state of 10 million people. well, this is their responsibility to the actual quite a bit. yes, now the topic which is rumored, which is being discussed, and then let's say what the chairman of the cec said karpenko , including that he announced that voting at foreign polling stations will be abolished in the next elections. well, it caused a certain. it's a rush. first of all, our neonas abroad , those who fled, how much is this belarusian know-ha and what role, especially in quantitative terms, did these very voices from abroad play? this is not belarusian know-how, there are a number of countries that do not create sites for voting abroad from european countries, the family does not change memory - this is albania and montenegro and

cyprus, and turkey in such a far abroad is chile and a number of other countries. ah. there are a number of countries that allow voting, but only for very select categories. there, for example, as a diplomat abroad, so this is by no means belarusian know-how and uh, we just proceed from uh, understanding of the challenges that we faced primarily as a result of the coronavirus, if we take the quantitative composition of those who voted, then this is not even percentage of electors. this is a percentage. uh, so to the claim that this could somehow affect the outcome of the republican vote or, uh, local elections. uh, absolutely groundless we will consider yes runaways an arithmetic error. well, this is mine. that is, i

did not think that this is absolutely not only your thesis. this is my deep conviction. if you remember, i also spoke in geneva from the un rostrum about those figures, yes, which are them, but they are supported on the internet, because in fact, this is also enough practical thing. uh, this is the head of state of the government, parliament practically does not need the internet to communicate, but with voters with people. if we look at where our opposition whites exist. yes, they exist on the internet. this is such you know, the universe is virtual. yes, that’s why the numbers that support them there, and therefore support them, are their subscribers, minus such civil servants as i, who are interested in their discourses about the service, minus all minors, who are journalists and so on. uh shows that true support that they don't have. uh,

then, at best, several tens of thousands of people, and certainly in our society in our state there is room for development for improvement, but there should not be a situation where a minority is some kind of extreme minority that exists in this virtual enclave and imposes its own development agenda. this means the majority, even if it is a silent majority, and we ourselves know that revolutions are made by a very small number of people 2,000 extremists are enough to achieve a lot. actually. you and i must understand this danger and control this process. uh, precisely the development of these extremist movements. and i think that this is the work of the law enforcement system. it's going in the absolutely right direction, it's hard to disagree. no, probably the last one. unfortunately, the latter is about philosophical questions. with

belarus from notes and bananas republic yes, that's what you said in an interview with the western. media 13 years ago. it seems to me that today you are more and more our genetic belarusian code is crystallizing. very stubbornly we do not want to fight, and we speak about it directly, we do not hesitate to admit that we lived well. and we don't need much. and the words as long as there is no war for us really matter, they are not empty. how would you answer the question today? what is belarus without a particle of notes? but i said that belarus is not a banana republic, meaning, first of all, the economic potential, you did a good homework , your team, it was about the fact that we have multi sectoral industry. we have, uh,

a developed service sector, we have, uh, a serious amount of efficient agriculture and since uh, 2009. we have grown a lot. if you look at the statistics of the world bank, then, and the results of 2021, when we already existed under a fairly significant amount of western sanctions, show us that, globally, statistically speaking, the republic of belarus has never been rich in terms of domestic product. this is the first moment, and it is very important, many will say that we could do better, but you see, history doesn't like the subjunctive. yes, that is, we did the best we could, this is very important, that is, we constantly progressed , constantly grew, in my opinion, this is the most important thing regarding such a humanitarian and political

aspect that we are not a banana republic. well, you know, belarus is a country with a much fairer political system. than the vast majority of countries. i think that this is the main, distinctive feature of our state we are not talking about some kind of general leveling, we are talking about what is happening in our country. conditions have been created for every person who lives either in the capital or in a distant village somewhere in the woods so that he has his chance to grow into a developed personality, receive a specifically capable education, a very good level, get a decent job. live with dignity, if he is interested in some kind of personal success, then succeed. have access to quality health care

. and besides this, our country has wonderful nature. let's look at the summer that was in this year, in a number of our neighbors of belarus, the weather was wonderful, there was green grass. until the end of august, we practically have a lot of water, something that a huge number of states simply dream of. we have good quality water, wonderful ecology of the place for recreation, and moreover, we have wonderful food. organic or bio we all have it on the table with you every day, yes, and you know that, i don’t want an analogy, but if i ever had the opportunity to promote. uh, the national slogan, as it were, yes, that is, actively would advance, belarus is a country of delicious food, belarusians eat wonderful, yes, that is, like a wonderful moment, so when you

return, and after a long break to your homeland. see? how is the country changing? yes, well, other people's children grow faster, yes, and more noticeable, and this is really a fact. for example, this summer i visited grodno and vitebsk, and well, and vitebsk - this is special love is the city of my childhood in school, this is the city from the picture now. that is, how much is invested? yes, as if in this here and the external image and in the content, uh, this is progress without interruption actually, it seems to me that, uh, to this whole picture, uh , it is definitely worth adding uh, that our country has a huge potential, a huge potential in all these areas. this is very, very important. this is the first and think that this potential. uh, could contribute to promote some know-how national ideas projects. well, i don't know, we

need with you your bam what was in our parents. uh, what kind of bam it will be hard to say, although i have my own idea and we, probably, need more history, success, personal success, including, probably, this could help your tv channel, because it is a contribution to the common cause to the common success. and when we would not hesitate to talk about it. i think that we would have more motivation to be proud of our country even more than those elements that we fell, do not chop up the new day and rob it to our

music. i like to teach intradermally once us. i attacked the sur in the sun at the unshy hands at the tips of our fingers the music on the phne to think and discover before us, thousands of roads, music can change color according to kolka. in my opinion, music is inside our skin.

my name is irina tovkala. i am a deputy of the house of representatives of the national assembly of the republic of belarus, a member of the permanent commissions on legislation. i think that today we need to talk about what our belarusians are very worried about, first of all, about the bill, and the entire belarusian national assembly, of course, the unprecedented topic of sanctions and, of course, about how we need to live in order to preserve sovereignty territorial integrity and unity of our people. hello

live program. say, do not be silent in the studio svetlana smolonskaya. and tatyana shcherbina and today irina davla is our guest. good afternoon irina good afternoon. hello irina viktorovna recently. professor alexander ivanovsky was our guest, it was he who recommended us to invite you, he definitely recommended you to our studio as a great professional in your field. you are a person from gomel, uh, and you can imagine, so to speak, a regional view on a particular issue and do it in a clear and accessible language. agree with the professor. it's all about you. you know, i'm very flattered, to be honest. uh, there is probably an advance payment somewhere, and now it is probably a very tough credit of trust and not enough of that. i simply do not have the right to fail and make something worse, therefore, ivanovsky is a man of magnitude. i would say super legend. and god forbid that there are more such people, not because, as they say,

the cuckoo praises the rooster for praising him, he is the cuckoo by no means, but this is true , so thank you very much. if thanks that's why i'm here. who it's great, thank you for his recommendation, really. you really, a, communicate constantly with both your voters and your countrymen. i know, i've watched several of your interviews. you regularly appear on tv screens, e local gomel ones. e, tv channels and never refuse to meet and tell, er, so let's say, the current agenda really in an understandable language. well, firstly, i probably want every voter , regardless of the industry in which he works what age and even what level of education or knowledge he has, probably, all information should be conveyed in such a way that it is understandable to everyone. and is it important. and, of course, i aspire to it then. let's move on to this very current agenda of ours. since october 24, a public discussion of the draft law on the entire

belarusian people's assembly is being held in the country. and let's watch a short video from our colleagues, these are 11 pieces of news and continue the conversation. it's important to bring it to the discussion. bills maximum number of belarusians in vitebsk leaders enterprises of the city, representatives of public associations analyzed the provisions of the updated electoral code and the new normative act of laws with the belarusian people's assembly. the speakers are the deputy of the house of representatives of the national assembly tatyana avtukhova and the deputy chairman of the vitebsk regional executive committee. vyacheslav durnov. explained the intricacies of legal documents. this was how the future role of the vnc in the socio-political system of belarus was discussed, and there was a discussion about the methods of nominating and approving delegates. nations belarusian people's assembly decision-making procedure discussed issues related to the functions, tasks and structure of the anc. well, here we have news about one of the dialogue platforms that is taking place as part of the discussion of this bill, and the organizer of the discussion

of the house of representatives, who will then summarize these same proposals or some innovations that can be discussed. in the process of discussion, anyone can also, leave your wishes and suggestions on the legal forum on the site in a special form, in your opinion. why is it so important namely, an open discussion of this document, perhaps, let's take it back a little. agree that we have had one of the most active years for 21, and we have not just tested this form of nationwide discussion. and we got great results. i'm talking about making changes and additions to the constitution, and we got not just a discussion, but we got interest. we saw how active our society is our people. and, probably, already the fact that this activity gave its wonderful

result, probably, and prompted the fact that the draft law was also to be submitted to the national discussion by the entire belarusian people's assembly. moreover, pay attention, after all, in the final, uh, provisions of the updated constitution, it clearly sounds that two years are given to bring all legislation in accordance with the updated norms or completely new norms. and this means that it is necessary either to adopt completely new bills, or to make changes and additions in accordance with the requirements of the constitution, and now, just the same bill for the belarusian people's assembly. this is just the same innovation that really needed to be discussed with people already. one name is all belarusian folk, how not to discuss it with the people, therefore, of course, i sent it quite wide. i would even say resonance.
