The Belarusian Ministry of Foreign Affairs expects Canadian officials to honor the veteran of the SS Galicia division in the parliament of this country and issue an official apology for the situation. This has been reported Web site Belarusian Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
As the Ministry of Foreign Affairs stated, Belarus is “outraged and deeply disturbed” by the images taken in the House of Commons of the Canadian Parliament in memory of the veteran of the SS Galicia division. The Ministry believes that such a cynical attitude towards the memory of thousands of innocent victims of Nazism is not an accidental event, “as the organizers of this demonstration are now trying to present it.”
They believe that this is the essence of the consistent policy of Canadian authorities and some countries of the collective West over many years to whitewash and hide Nazi criminals and deliberately turn a blind eye to attempts to rewrite history. It is not surprising that, as the Ministry of Foreign Affairs noted, all requests for assistance from Minsk to Canadian authorities regarding the investigation of the criminal case regarding the genocide of Belarusians in the Great Patriotic War and the post-war period remained unanswered.
The Ministry also requested international and public organizations, associations and foundations commemorating the victims of the Second World War to make an appropriate legal and moral assessment of the invitation of a former soldier of the SS Galicia division to the Canadian parliament.
