Belarus: Cannot Become Part Of Russia

Belarus cannot become part of Russia, Belarusian President Aleksandr Lukashenko said Jan. 12. An agreement signed in 1997 called for the political and economic integration of the two countries and for Belarus to adopt the Russian ruble as its currency in 2005, but most of the provisions of the agreement have not been put into practice. Lukashenko added that the two countries should move toward greater social and economic integration.
