ArmInfo.The National Democratic Pole of Armenia will hold a protest in front of the Embassy of Belarus in Armenia. 

The "Protest of Dignity" will take place in response to insulting  remarks by President of Belarus Alexander Lukashenko. 

In an interview with Vladimir Solovyov, the Belarusian president  spoke of likely members of a new allied state, which, according to  him, will consist of Russia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Armenia and, if the  right policy is pursued, Ukraine. 

In speaking of Armenia, Mr Lukashenko made some inappropriate  remarks, saying: "Well, Armenia has nowhere to go. Do you think  anyone needs them? They have seen. Nikol [Pashinyan] has seen it."

This attitude by Armenia's ally in the EAEU and CSTO has caused a  barrage of criticism in Armenia's society. 

Vaharshak Hakobyan, a member of the dominant parliamentary faction  Civil Contract, stated that as head of state President Lukashenko  allowed himself completely unacceptable and inappropriate remarks.  The leader of a partner state has no right to make such remarks in  speaking of other partners, he said.  Armen Rustamyan of the Armenia  parliamentary bloc branded President Lukashenko's statement  "nonsense" in international diplomatic practice. However, Armenia  should look at itself to find the reasons for such remarks. 

"We let others talk to us in this manner. And Lukashenko is not the  only one doing so. The president of the neighboring state is overtly  humiliating and insulting our country and its leader. We have said  Armenia has been stripped of its international personality and  reputation and ability to defend itself. And we can see it is a  reality now. It is the aftermath.  Lukashenko is one of the odious  people who say what they think, without thinking of the words they  use. But it is evidence of serious domestic problems and of what is  going on behind the scenes," Mr Rustamyan said.
