President of Belarus Alexander Lukashenko arrived in Moscow to take
part in celebrations to mark the 65th anniversary of Victory in the
Great Patriotic War and, timed to this event, an informal CIS summit.

His plane landed at the capital’s Vnukovo airport, where he came down
the ramp along with his 6-year-old son Kolya.

As expected, the President of Belarus will not attend the celebrations
planned in the Russian capital on May 9th . According to Lukashenko,
since Belarus shall be celebrating the 65th anniversary of the Victory
on a scale far greater than any other CIS state, it would not be quite
right for him to remain "outside Belarus’, ITAR-TASS reported.

It’s worth reminding that Armenia’s Serzh Sargsyan pays a working
visit to Moscow today by the invitation of Dmitry Medvedev of Russia
to attend the Parade devoted to the Great Patriotic War.
