To the President of the Republic of Belarus
A. G. Lukashenko


Dear Alexander Grigorievich,

the International Coalition for the Prohibition of Biological Weapons and the Elimination of US Laboratories, which includes organizations, parties and public figures from nine countries, expresses its support to you for your initiative in the elimination of military biological facilities on the territory of the CSTO member states.

Your speech on November 23 of this year at the CSTO summit in Yerevan was an important signal for all opponents of American military biological laboratories and dual-use "research" programs around the world and in the post-Soviet space conducted by experts from Western countries.

Moreover, there is a high probability that a number of projects and programs carried out by American military biologists in Ukraine before the start of the SVO were or will be transferred to the territory of Kazakhstan and Armenia, where there is already a network of research institutes and laboratories working with the Pentagon through the DTRA agency.

All such activities in these republics are not transparent, and despite the statements of local authorities "about the peaceful nature" of the facilities, the supply of new equipment, training of specialists and work on projects funded by the US Department of Defense and the military departments of NATO countries continue. New laboratories are also being built, such as BSL-4 with underground storage of the most dangerous pathogens from all over the world in the south of Kazakhstan.

Taking into account the aggravation of the confrontation in the world and the aggressive actions of the North Atlantic Alliance and other Anglo-Saxon military blocs, the threat of the use of biological weapons by the Americans under the guise of outbreaks of local, but already modified in laboratory conditions, or through the "leakage" of pathogens from laboratories located along the perimeter of the borders of Russia, Belarus and China increases many times.

The public of Armenia and Kazakhstan have repeatedly advocated declassification of activities and the admission of specialists from Moscow and Beijing to these facilities, as well as the termination of any "joint research" on common projects with DTRA. But all appeals and petitions were ignored.

We ask you to include in the agenda of the next CSTO summit, which will be held in Minsk, the issue of the need to disclose all these facilities in Kazakhstan and Armenia in order to investigate their activities under projects and programs of the military departments of the United States, Great Britain, Germany and other NATO countries.

The main thing is also the final decision on the termination of any dual-use research on programs and with the participation of specialists from potential adversaries on the territory of the CSTO member states, with the signing of an appropriate agreement.

Only your personal intervention and political will can lead to these mandatory steps that can put an end to the activities of American and Western military and paramilitary facilities on the territory of the allied countries and begin the liberation of the entire territory of the former Soviet Union from them.

Be sure that your initiative and actions in this direction will meet the support of all honest citizens of these republics and progressive forces around the world! Our eyes and thoughts are turned to you now, and we express our great gratitude for the principled position in this most important issue of preserving biological safety.
