“We are different, but we have one Belarus” - protesters on Independence Square in Minsk accepted a petition in support of peace

16.08.2020. Protesters on Independence Square in Minsk accepted their petition. Its text was read by the head of "Belaya Rus" Gennady Davydko. Gennady Davydko called the petition an appeal to the Belarusian people. In it, the protesters first of all called to save the country for children. “We, the people of Belarus, have made our sovereign, unconditional and categorical choice - for the independence, prosperity and well-being of us and our children. But they want to steal this victory from us, and everyone who made an honest choice is slandered and made an enemy in the eyes of the people. External forces are kindling a fire of misunderstanding and aggression, pushing our heads against us, Belarusians, in order to divide and plunder in this chaos what was created by the hard work of our fathers and grandfathers, "the chairman of the public association read out the text of the petition.

The appeal also emphasizes that the Belarusians should no longer be silent and "follow the instigators and liars, indulge the street shouts and provocateurs." “We will not allow the future to be taken away from our country, its children and grandchildren. We, Belarusians, have always lived our own minds, we know how to listen and hear each other, we respect different points of view. We believe that street protests lead to a split in society, division of citizens into friends and foes. This must not be allowed, "continued Gennady Davydko." Fellow citizens, take a look around: we have a wonderful country behind us, we have something to be proud of and something to lose. It is in our common interests to make life as fast as possible enter familiar track ".

Belarusians want to live in peace, work and raise children in a peaceful and safe country, the petition says. But for this, the document says, citizens need to be together. "There are many of us, we are different, but we have one Belarus. Belarus is us!" - summed up the speaker.
