President Ilves: no totalitarian regime lasts forever

06.12.2011

“Estonia is sure that the people of Belarus deserve a future that is better than its present. However, only the people of Belarus can determine their own future,” said the President, Toomas Hendrik Ilves, at his meeting with the former Head of State of Belarus and one of current leaders of the opposition, Stanisłaŭ Šuškievič.

“If Belarus will choose Europe, we will be willing to lend you a helping hand in building up a contemporary democratic country, in both a political and economic sense,” assured President Ilves.

According to the President, history has proven – both close to us and far away – that no totalitarian regime lasts forever, and it has also shown that the commitment and consensus of many people is required to implement changes.
