Zyanon Paznyak doesn't see Kurapaty as a symbol of unity

This is the CCP BPF leader's response to the suggestion of the "Tell the Truth" and the movement "For Freedom".

These organizations suggested that the whole opposition should unite to defend Kurapaty. Paznyak replied: "Victims never unite with executors. The history witnesses this for 24 years. The offspring of the executed will never unite with the offspring of those who killed them".

Besides, on Tuesday Kurapaty appeared in the center of a scandal again. A memorial sign in honour of the executed Polish army officers was installed there on October 29. It disappeared already on October 30. Historian Ihar Kuznyatsou who was the initiator of the memorial, called this incident a real crime, in a comment to Euroradio.

Paznyak, in his turn, considers disappearance of the memorial sign a provocation of the KGB, informs BelSat TV-channel. However, he does not support Kuznyatsou either. According to the CCP BPF leader, Kuznyatsou is dealing with a myth, as no remains of the officers were found in Kurapaty. Paznyak conducted archaeological excavation in Kurapaty himself, as an archeologist. The politician says that the KGB is struggling with the memory about Kurapaty and creates organizations which allegedly deal with the memorial but in fact try to give their own explanations of the historical events.
