“I have been following the recent developments and I want to say that this reminds me of the preparations for the first Maidan revolution that started in Ukraine in 2003-2004. It is absolutely clear that western secret services started preparing for the Belarusian election long beforehand. I have all the necessary information to say that,” Nikolai Azarov said.
In his words, a great number of people had been trained to fulfill their instructions at a certain point. “All coups are usually timed to elections. In other words, elections are the time of de-legitimization of the authorities. By this time, a great amount of work had been done to demonize the government,” the former Ukrainian premier said.
