	NATO Speech: Belarus, Madrid, 9 July 1997
		Belarus has always believed and continues to believe that the creation of new dividing lines in Europe, including by way of mechanical enlargement of military unions, will not solve the problems of mutual security and could be counter-productive.
		Belarus considers that the enlargement of the Alliance should be accompanied by its internal transformation from a military-political to a political-military dimension; and that countries whose interests would be affected to the greatest extent by the enlargement of the Organization, should get involved in a dialogue with NATO on a broader scale.
		Belarus is going to work to ensure that its interests are, in a similar way, taken into account in the context of NATO enlargement and counts on the goodwill and constructive cooperation of the Alliance in this matter.

	Belarus opposition mulls more cold nights
		MINSK, Belarus - Shortly before dawn Tuesday, opposition leader Alexander Milinkevich, wan, haggard and freezing cold, toured the small camp in the center of Oktyabrskaya Square that has become the ragged fortress of the democratic opposition in Belarus.
		By Tuesday night, leaders of Belarus' democratic coalition were debating whether to ask their supporters to spend more nights in the relentless snow, or prepare to admit failure in their bid to ignite a public revolt against Sunday's questionable election results that returned President Alexander Lukashenko to another five years in office.
		The dilemma over whether to continue occupying the square marked a crucial juncture in Belarus' postelection landscape, and underscored the differences between the recent non-violent revolutions in Ukraine and Georgia and the situation in Belarus, whose repressive Soviet-style government has ruled for the past 12 years with a powerful combination of nostalgia, defiance and fear.

		At the same time, the leaders of Belarus, Russia and Kazakhstan adopted a harsh position on accepting the documents on the SES: the agreements must be signed as one package comprising 38 documents.
		Perhaps the reason for this popularity comes from the fact that Belarus is a very socialist country and was, absolutely and happily, a communist country during the time of the Soviet Union.
		What this means is that the population as a whole lived forever with a group-think perspective and in a culture that demanded of its people not to try and become rich, not to fight unnecessarily for resources and to try and live reasonably and peacefully together.
