President of Belarus Alexander Lukashenko has said that Minsk was forced to "tightly" close the border with Ukraine due to the rushing "flow of weapons."
He stated this at an international conference on the fight against terrorism in Minsk on Tuesday, BelTA reports.
“We had to tightly close the [Belarusian-Ukrainian] border. Even tighter than the border with the North Atlantic bloc, which has seemed to us the enemy number one for a long time. Because weapons started flowing into Belarus,” Lukashenko said.
He added that when ordinary people had weapons, terrorism should be expected.
“We don't want weapons to get into the hands of common people, particularly with nationalistic ideas, because it will result in terrorism. And the calm country of Belarus, God forbid, can reap the fruits of it. We may get something we obviously never had reasons for,” Lukashenko noted.
