MINSK, 23 December (BelTA) – While appointing Dmitry Gora as the new Prosecutor General, Belarusian President Aleksandr Lukashenko stressed that those responsible for the genocide of the Belarusian people must pay for it, BelTA has learned.

The head of state noted that the prosecutor’s office is conducting a very serious investigation into the genocide of the Belarusian people. “We have already uncovered so much evidence that it’s difficult to find more. But ultimately, we must send them [those responsible for the genocide] a bill. Whether it is paid or not, they must understand the debt they owe and it is not merely a sum calculated in today’s dollars, which are depreciating at a breakneck pace. No one needs that now… and certainly no one will need it tomorrow. They must understand that they destroyed the country,” the president said.

“Therefore, we must bring this work to completion and thoroughly expose all these Nazi crimes. This remains relevant today, deeply relevant. We were correct to pursue it, especially against the backdrop of the policies being pursued by the West, particularly European states,” the Belarusian leader added.
