Lukashenko: Failing to curb corruption leads to war

 MINSK, 23 December (BelTA) - Belarusian President Aleksandr Lukashenko emphasized the importance of combating corruption-related offenses as he appointed Dmitry Gora as Prosecutor General, BelTA has learned.

“You and Konstantin Fyodorovich [Bychek, appointed on the same day as Chairman of the Investigative Committee of Belarus] will have to work closely together here. Very closely indeed,” stressed the Belarusian leader.

“It [corruption] is unacceptable. I have said it before. To put it bluntly, if we do not curb these corruption trends, we will come to war. That is always the way. Especially for us, for Slavs. We are a kind of people who do not tolerate injustice. And corruption is a terrible injustice,” Aleksandr Lukashenko said.
