Don't hang weights on their feet — Lukashenko opposes blind economic integration

"We've developed a desire to merge farms. Sometimes we merge, dumping — there's no other word for it — unprofitable, unpromising ones into this merger. What do we gain from this? Who needs this merger? Merging isn't always good. So don't rush, district executive committee chairmen. If a small farm is working efficiently — don't hang weights on its feet by attaching unprofitable ones. You'll ruin a good farm," Lukashenko said.
