Minsk warns of threat of bloody outcome
The still peaceful Belarusian protests may have a bloody outcome.
Political scientist Alexander Shpakovsky, who is close to the Belarusian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, stated this on the ONT television channel, as reported by a PolitNavigator correspondent.
“It frightens me that the crowd is constantly purposefully led to the Palace of Independence. This is working out a specific route. We understand that walking for any length of time is futile. Most likely, curators must at some point give orders for provocative violent actions. This worries me greatly,” Shpakovsky said.
In his opinion, “forces from abroad do not set themselves the goal of overthrowing the government.”
"But the goal of provoking human casualties could very well be there. It's a geopolitical one. Those same comrades are circling around the centers coordinating the Belarusian protests. Any internet user can find out who Henri Lévy is and what his role is in Libya, Syria, and Ukraine. How destructive that role is. He's a political strategist for revolutions. He's the devil incarnate," Shpakovsky said.
