September 17, Pozirk<\/em>.<\/strong> Several Belarusian MPs made incendiary anti-Polish statements during the September 16 ONT <\/em>show broadcast ahead of National Unity Day marking the unification of Western and Eastern Belarus on September 17, 1939.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The date also marks the anniversary of the Soviet Union\u2019s attack on Poland launched under a secret agreement with Nazi Germany to partition Poland after the start of the Second World War.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Aleh Ramana\u016d, head of the pro-government Bie\u0142aja Ru\u015b party, accused Poles of pushing territorial claims for western Belarus that used to be a part of the Second Polish Republic between 1921 and 1939.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Belarusians will have to deal with the Polish irredentism for decades to come as it is rooted in Poles\u2019 mentality, he charged without presenting any evidence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cTheir idea ‘Polska od morza do morza\u2019 [Poland from the Black Sea to the Baltic Sea], it is part of their mentality,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Poland intended to deploy its troops in Belarus in 2020 and remains an \u201cAmerican tool to weaken Europe,\u201d claimed Aleh Hajdukievi\u010d, of the parliamentary Standing Committee on Foreign Affairs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He accused Warsaw of warmongering and planning an attack on Belarus. \u201cWe are watching, listening to their stories . . .  but we will never believe them again. If they knew today that they could attack Belarus and get away with it, they would burn [everything] and kill [Belarusians],\u201d Hajdukievi\u010d said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MP Mika\u0142aj Buzin in charge of human rights, national relations and media at the House of Representatives, described Poland as the West\u2019s battering ram against Russia and Belarus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
