TEHRAN, Dec. 01 (MNA) – Minsk will propose to Moscow to deploy nuclear weapons in Belarus if similar NATO systems appear in Poland, Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko told.

"[In this case], I will propose to Putin to return nuclear weapons in Belarus," Lukashenko said, Sputnik reported. 

The Belarusian president said that Minsk and Moscow will come to an agreement on what kind of systems to deploy.

Earlier in November, NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg said that the alliance may move nuclear weapons to the eastern European countries if Germany refuses to deploy them.
