Following last week's scheduling of a presidential vote for 19 March 2006 (see "RFE/RL Newsline," 16 December 2005), the Central Election Commission said it will register nomination groups to collect signatures in support of presidential candidates until 23 December, Belapan reported. To get on the ballot, a presidential contender needs to collect at least 100,000 voter signatures. Apart from democratic opposition candidate Alyaksandr Milinkevich, who was selected in October to challenge President Alyaksandr Lukashenka (see "RFE/RL Newsline," 3 October 2005), four more aspirants have signaled their intention to run. They are lawmaker Syarhey Haydukevich, leader of the Belarusian Liberal Democratic Party; Alyaksandr Kazulin, leader of the Belarusian Social Democratic Party (Hramada); former Foreign Minister Pyotr Krauchanka; and Zyanon Paznyak, exiled leader of the Conservative Christian Party. The 61-year-old Paznyak has been living abroad since 1996, when he fled the country for fear of being jailed. JM
Gee, where are all those reeeel conservatives telling us how much better off Belarus is with its current Putin-loving strongman and how those Soros-backed Orange revolutionary crooks are conning the west yet again, blah, blah, blah...?
So you are for Soros using East Europe to manipulate markets for financial gain whilst turning east europe nations into mini soviet union athiest socialist states?
Think Soros is sitting Belarus out?

The man is an international criminal manipulating markets and using the proceeds to set up psudo-soviet socialist athiest regimes which he controls.

I thought everyone had agreed to get behind Milinkevich. Obviously I was wrong.
Wait until Gar from Vietnam and the other one start their campaign.
Who is he?
But Putin is a real Christian, didn't you know that ? :(
Jimmy Carter is a real Christian, didn't you know that? :)
Right. Thanks for telling me. Will advise.
