Lukashenka compares US to Nazi Germany, reminds Obama about slavery

He compared it with the situation in the Nazi Germany in mid-XX century. The Belarusian leader has said this in an interview to the Kazakh TV-channel 24 KZ before his visit to Kazakhstan which is planned for October 3-4.



The statement of U.S. President Barack Obama about the exclusive role of the American nation at the international arena has become the reason for such comments, informs BelaPAN. Lukashenka has said: "See what their rhetoric came to. The American nation (as a historian, I cannot understand what kind of nation they mean) grabbed the right to some "exclusivity".



"We have survived similar exclusivity in the middle of last century and it took 50 million lives. It all smells bad," Lukashenka added.



"The most terrifying thing is that when we stuff this exclusivity ideology into the heads of our own population. And they, as it happened in Germany once, come to understanding that they are special race, special blood, special exclusivity, and we should force our order over the world and make everyone meet our standards," the Belarusian leader said.



Lukashenka thinks such rhetoric is totally unacceptable from the side of the current U.S. President: "Obama surprises me. Black people were slaves in America not very long ago, and now he claims some exclusivity. I never thought that a person who comes from the poor can promote such ideas in the world."
