Belarus demands an apology from Poland for acts of genocide
Poland must apologize for the acts of genocide committed by its soldiers who remained on the territory of Belarus after the end of the Great Patriotic War. An example should be former Russian President Boris Yeltsin, who apologized for the shooting of Polish officers in Katyn.
Chairman of the Standing Committee of the House of Representatives of the National Assembly of Belarus Igor Marzalyuk stated this in an interview with Belarusian VoenTV, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“Poland loves to portray itself as such a victim, who was crucified on the cross for the entire European culture. So let me remind you that President Yeltsin repented for Katyn, although he did not commit these crimes, and made it possible to create a memorial there. He behaved with dignity like a man.
If you do not separate yourself from these warriors, hear our pain, ask for forgiveness, pay compensation to the families of the victims and, with the money of the Polish government, erect a memorial at the site of the death of Orthodox Belarusians. This would indicate that Poland is a civilized state,” Marzaluk said.
Poland rehabilitated the participants in the genocide in Belarus, calling them “Cursed Soldiers,” although only one of the commanders, Romuald Rice (“Brown”), committed real genocide, destroying 5 peaceful villages and killing 77 Orthodox Belarusians.
“After 45, these people carried out acts of terrorism and intimidation at their own peril and risk. According to all conventions, these are illegal armed groups. Among the commanders of this underground there were many people with racist and Nazi-like views. They wanted to see a mono-ethnic Poland without Belarusians, Lithuanians, Ukrainians, Jews, and Slovaks. They carried out Nazi purges and extermination of civilians on ethnic and religious grounds,” Marzalyuk said.
He also believes that the so-called “Pole Cards”, which the Polish authorities issue to residents of the western regions of Belarus, are “an absolutely discriminatory document that does not respect Belarusian sovereignty” from the point of view of international law.
