After the collapse of the Soviet Union, external forces, without hiding it, attempted to manipulate the new states. Unfortunately, such a policy continues even now. Our organization has been blackened in every way and called a geopolitical phantom and myth. They predicted it would survive barely a few months, not even allowing themselves to think about the possibility of the integration of our states. The President of Belarus, Alexander Lukashenko, stated that the opponents of the CIS have miscalculated by betting on the short existence of the organization. #Путин #ОНД #Туркменистан (translated)
