[AlAhram] Belarus' President Alexander Lukashenko on Friday promised food and warm clothing to migrants colonists who opt to stay at the border between the ex-Soviet nation and Poland and won't return to their homeland.
Such a sweet, generous man.
Lukashenko made the pledge during a visit to a facility that accommodates migrants colonists at the border.
``My task is to help you, people in trouble,'' Lukashenko said, addressing thousands of migrants colonists during a visit to a facility accommodating migrants colonists at the Bruzgi warehouse. ``We, Belarusians, including myself, will do everything as you wish, even if it is bad for Poles, Latvians and someone else.''
Especially if it is bad for them, actually. The current president of Belarus is the soul of malice.
``We will work together with you on your dream,'' Lukashenko added.
Lukashenko, who has accused the EU of failing to meet humanitarian standards by refusing the migrants colonists entry, told them his government would do nothing to prevent them from reaching Europe.
"If anybody wants to go West -- that is your right. We will not try to catch you, beat you, and hold you behind barbed wire," Lukashenko said.
Lukashenko's visit comes after weeks of tensions at the border, where hundreds of people remain stuck. Since Nov. 8, a large group of people, mostly from the Middle East, has been stranded in Belarus at a border crossing with Poland, trapped as forces from the two countries face off against each other. Most are fleeing conflict or a sense of hopelessness at home, and aim to reach Germany or other Western European countries.
Lukashenko again called on Germany to accept migrants colonists.
German government front man Steffen Seibert on Friday strongly denied No, no! Certainly not! claims by Lukashenko that Germany had agreed to take in 2,000 migrants colonists currently in Belarus.
``It's not true that Germany agrees to this,'' he told news hounds in Berlin.
Videos and photographs taken by local media outlets show the authoritarian leader of Belarus surveying conditions at the migrants colonists' crowded quarters. Russia's state RIA Novosti news agency reported that crowds of migrants colonists applauded Lukashenko on his arrival.
Lukashenko said that apart from about 2,000 people at the border facility, another 2,000 to 3,000 more migrants colonists currently remain in Belarus. He promised migrants colonists that the Belarusian authorities would help them return to their home countries _ but only if they want to.
``In no case will we detain you, tie your hands, load you on airplanes and send you home if you don't want that,'' Lukashenko said.
Lukashenko said that about 200 migrants colonists still manage to illegally enter the EU every day.
Over 170 people returned to Iraq's northern Kurdish-run region on Friday with another return flight expected later in the day. Last week, 430 Iraqis returned home after a failed attempt ...Curses! Foiled again!... to reach the European Union ...the successor to the Holy Roman Empire, only without the Hapsburgs and the nifty uniforms and the dancing... The West has accused Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko of luring thousands of migrants colonists to Belarus with the promise of help to get to Western Europa ...the land mass occupying the space between the English Channel and the Urals, also known as Moslem Lebensraum... to use them as pawns to destabilize the 27-nation European Union in retaliation for its sanctions on his authoritarian government. Belarus denies engineering the crisis.
[Rudaw] A Polish politician and former foreign minister told Rudaw that there could be as many as 70,000 migrants colonists in Belarus wishing to enter Poland, not 7,000 as previously claimed by Minsk, as he stressed that the authorities will continue to prevent migrants colonists from entering his country.
"We want to stop them [migrants colonists] at the Belarusian border. This is successful right now, because most have been unable to illegally cross the border, and we have [had] to force Belarusia’s [leader Alexander] Lukashenko to send them away," Witold Waszczykowski, who was Poland’s minister of foreign affairs until 2018 and is currently a member of the European Parliament, told Rudaw in an interview aired on Friday.
"[They] are not only 7,000 [migrants colonists], they are probably 70,000 because they were coming by planes this summer," he added.
Thousands of migrants colonists, mostly from the Kurdistan Region, have been stuck on the Belarus-Poland border in recent months, with hundreds of them returning via planes arranged by Erbil and Baghdad. The return process continues with another group of migrants colonists expected to return in the early hours of Saturday.

Mius Front is a military archeological project charged with digging up the trenches on the Mius Front, one of the bloodiest infantry battles of the War on the Eastern front.
According to Google Maps:
Salsk is a town and the administrative center of Salsky District in Rostov Oblast, Russia, located on the Sredny Yegorlyk River, 180 kilometers southeast of Rostov-on-Don, the administrative center of the oblast.
[VK] On the "Alley of memory of victims of genocide" in front of the entrance of the Salsk brick factory, a ceremony of burial of civilians found by our expedition "Without a statute of limitations."
Before the burial, the traditional for the Don land was held the procession of the cross from the place of execution to the place of burial. During the event, the search engines of the Salsk detachment of the Mius Front showed the terrible finds made in the Death Quarry.
Among them are children's toys, small shoes, pectoral crosses, personal items, casings and bullets of punitive weapons. At the end of the ceremony in the House of Culture, the premiere of a film by Yuri Maltsev specially shot for young people and telling about the history of Salsky's Death Center was successfully held, as well as an award ceremony for the distinguished members of the expedition.
The uniqueness of today's burial is that such an event was last held on the territory of the Rostov region only in 1943! It was then that for the last time on our land the victims of the Nazi occupation were reburied, tortured and executed by punishers. But most of those who died in those days were never buried and remained in the execution pits and ditches, covered with a layer of earth and oblivion.
Only this year, the expedition of the Mius Front "No statute of limitations" expedition with the support of the Russian Search Movement began to restore historical justice starting a search for places of mass genocide on the territory of the Don Territory.
We managed to find in Salsk, on the territory of a brick factory, pits filled with shot civilians. The time has come to bury the found elderly women and children.

[KavkazUzel] The court rejected the appeal of the prosecutor's office, which demanded to cancel the decision to terminate the criminal prosecution of the second President of Armenia Robert Kocharian in the case of dispersing a rally in Yerevan on March 1-2, 2008.
Thirteen years ago? Process being punishment, indeed.
As the "Caucasian Knot" wrote, former Armenian President Robert Kocharian is charged in the case of dispersing a rally in Yerevan on March 1-2, 2008, during which 10 people were killed. The former chief of the General Staff of the Armenian Armed Forces Yuri Khachaturov, the former head of the Ministry of Defense Seyran Ohanyan and the former head of the presidential administration and Deputy Prime Minister Armen Gevorgyan are also involved in this case.
On March 26, the Armenian Constitutional Court found the accusation of Robert Kocharian and other defendants in the case regarding the overthrow of the government unconstitutional. On April 6, the Yerevan General Jurisdiction Court terminated the criminal prosecution of Robert Kocharian and other former officials under the article on overthrowing the constitutional order on the basis of the absence of a crime. In April, the prosecutor's office appealed the decision.
Robert Kocharian is also accused of money laundering, fraud and receiving a large bribe. On May 29, 2020, the Administrative Court of Armenia granted the defense's petition that the second President of Armenia, Robert Kocharian, remain in the medical center until the end of the coronavirus pandemic, and in June 2020 Kocharian was released on bail. Back in August 2020, the prosecution announced a deliberate delay in the process.
The appellate court rejected the appeal of the prosecutor's office on the cancellation of the decision of the court of first instance on the acquittal of Robert Kocharian, Hovhannes Khudoyan told the "Caucasian Knot" correspondent.
"It is too early to say that the decision of the court of first instance to terminate the criminal case regarding the overthrow of the constitutional order remains in force, since the prosecutor's office can appeal the decision of the Court of Appeal in the cassation instance," he noted.
"The judicial act has not yet entered into force," Khudoyan said.
The lawyer added that the court today also considered the defense's petition to change the preventive measure against Robert Kocharian. The defense demanded to reduce the amount of the bail or cancel the bail altogether, but the court rejected this request, he said.

[KavkazUzel] A court in Rostov-on-Don found Artur Satemirov guilty of preparing a terrorist attack in the Astrakhan police department and participating in the activities of IS *. Satemirov told the Dagestani journalist Abdulmumin Hajiyev that he was forced to confess under torture.
The 34-year-old resident of the Astrakhan region Artur Satemirov was accused of preparing for a terrorist act (part 1 of Article 30 - part 1 of Article 205 of the Criminal Code of Russia), participation in the activities of a terrorist organization (part 2 of Article 205.5 of the Criminal Code of Russia) and illegal storage of weapons and ammunition (part 1 article 222 of the Criminal Code of Russia).
"It has been established that in April 2020, the defendant, being at his place of residence in Astrakhan, took the oath to the head of the international terrorist organization 'Islamic State,' having written down the text of the oath and sent this audio message for transmission to the head of the terrorist organization.
Satemirov planned to commit a terrorist act in the department police of the city of Astrakhan. For these purposes, until May 2020, he kept hand grenades and firearms at his place of residence," the press service of the Southern District Military Court told the "Caucasian Knot" correspondent.
According to the press service, the arrest by law enforcement officers prevented Satemirov from fulfilling his plans.
The defendant was found guilty and sentenced to 13 years in a maximum security colony with the first four years in prison. He pleaded not guilty, the court said.
The verdict has not entered into legal force and can be appealed by the parties in the Military Court of Appeal.
"Caucasian Knot" has not yet received any comments from Artur Satemirov and his representatives regarding the court's decision.
On October 5, Satemirov's story was published on the Facebook page of the Chernovik correspondent Abdulmumin Hajiyev, who was arrested on charges of financing terrorism, and on October 6 it was included in the Caucasian Knot selection "Top 10 of the North Caucasian Blogosphere."
"I was taken to the FSB building, where I was slightly beaten, demanding to 'confess' that everything seized during the search was mine. I refused. Then I was brought to the ITT and put in solitary confinement. I was taken out of the cell in handcuffs, a white bag was put on my head and I was handed over to some persons.
I saw nothing. The handcuffs on my hands were attached to the radiator, my head was wrapped in cellophane and my ears were sealed with tape. There was no way to open my eyes. To the big toes. They attached two wires and began to torture me with electric current," Satemirov said.
The criminal case against Artur Satemirov came to court on December 17, 2020, hearings on the merits began in March, the process took 12 sessions, follows from the file on the website of the Southern District Military Court.
Earlier, the "Caucasian Knot" has repeatedly written about criminal cases under articles on terrorism, which the defense called fabricated.
Thus, four natives of Dagestan, accused of preparing a terrorist attack at a concert by Philip Kirkorov, insist that they made a confession under torture .
A resident of Chechnya, Abdul-Khalim Abdulmezhidov, who was convicted in 2018 for preparing a terrorist attack at the New Year's celebration in Shali, was unable to bring about a criminal case for extorting evidence under torture.
In Astrakhan, a local resident, Rasul Baysuev, was charged with a terrorism case. The only evidence of his guilt is the testimony of a witness, which he later refused, the lawyer said. Baysuev was sentenced to 12 years in prison, Court of Appeal in April upheld the verdict .
