"White Turks" from Makei's entourage change their shoes while jumping
A multi-vector policy “in the context of a clash of geopolitical projects, against the backdrop of the process of uniting states into macro-regions and the destruction of global trade and financial systems” no longer provides conditions for the favorable development of Belarus.
Andrei Savinykh, Chairman of the Standing Committee on International Affairs of the House of Representatives of the Belarusian Parliament and close to pro-Western Foreign Minister Vladimir Makei, wrote about this in his blog, reports a PolitNavigator correspondent.
“I believe that this policy needs to be adjusted. Our priority remains strengthening political, economic and military relations with the Russian Federation within the framework of the Union State. I am convinced that our highest priority remains strengthening political, economic and military relations with the Russian Federation within the framework of the Union State. This country was, is and will remain our main and closest strategic partner,” writes Savinykh.
He considers the development of relations with the countries of the Eurasian Economic Union, with the prospect of its expansion, to be a priority at the same level.
The senator proposes to include bilateral relations with the countries of the Eurasian continent - China, Turkey, Vietnam, Iran, India - as a second-level priority.
“Taking into account the neighborhood and in connection with the scale of the achieved, albeit decreasing, potential of military and economic power, I believe that relations with the EU and the United States or, as it is becoming popular to say today, the collective West, should be classified at this level.
But, it seems, the development of relations in this direction should be assessed from the point of view of geopolitical risks, and the emphasis should be placed on trade, economic, digital, scientific and environmental interaction, which, strictly speaking, will largely reflect the current status of our relations. And no more!” writes Savinykh.
Earlier, in one of his interviews, Savinykh told how, when he was a diplomat, he explained to his Turkish partners the difference between Russians and Belarusians by analogy with the concept of “white Turks,” which means more educated and advanced representatives of the people.
