Dear Belarusian Friends!

In less than two weeks will be the 29th meeting of Belarusians in North America in New Brunswick, where we will be glad to see you all!

But this is my letter I want to show the fact that not all ok in the Belarusian society of America.

We know that everyone goes and makes a variety of actions in accordance with its principles. Not my rules to sling mud on his back. But I think it necessary that the activities of the heads of Belarus and the Belarusian public organizations to be as transparent and understandable to the people whose interests must defend those same leaders, and on which we have placed the responsibility to solve many complex issues facing all of us.Therefore, I am sending this letter, where I tell the facts about the actions of Walter Vyachko Stankevich, which are known to me.

Permission to continue to do this kind of dishonest acts which do Walter Stankevich, which is in many high positions, but the feeling that only the face is covered by a defender of Belarusian Belarushchyny ideas and doing strange things, mention of others and not taking measures to deal with conflicts in BAZA organization and our Belarusian society - it's just such all of us - Belarusians.

Please see added to the file in which I described the events that occurred during the last year. Already it has only a lot of questions. However, some leaders, unfortunately, refused to answer them and to seek understanding and exit from the conflict situation. Maybe it's my appeal will be to move that will force leaders, including Mr Walter Stankevich, take action to prevent more split and solve existing problems in a democratic way patients and not to do thus hostage to all of us - Belarusians in North America. Split into separate camps we do not need!

Invitation to the 29th Meeting of Belarusians of North America (New Brunswick)

Whatever it was, but it is in times like these byazuladdya so dishonest behavior of our so called leaders we have a good opportunity to demonstrate their unity, in spite of everything.Meet, talk, discuss issues and sick glad we have - Belarusians from all over North America - is that you can not so often. Therefore, I as a member of BASIS, the Belarusian Church, call the Museum of Belarusian, Belarusian ladies, now you.

We can not wait for help from anyone. We must ourselves decide our fate. We must always remember that we - Belarusians take part in our Belarusian holidays, to remember our famous ancestors, celebrate happy moments together and help each other in difficult times.

Suppose that such a step would be abyadnayuchym Your participation in the 29th Summit Belarusians in North America in New Brunswick. We can hear the songs performed by folk artist of Belarus Valentina Parkhomenko, Ales and Will Cossack. Also Belmuzeem in New York will be an exhibition of works of Belarusian artists.

We are happy to see you at our meetings Belarus!


Sincerely,

Nicholas Saganovich

An Open letter to Public by Nicholas Saganovicha

Approaching the 29th Meeting of Belarusians in North America. And now every Belarusian,who is interested in the life of the Belarusian society are interested in why it happened andwent from the conflict.

- The conflict in the BAZA

It began some time after the Congress of the Belarusian-American Association (BAZA). During the election management bodies and chairmen of the organization of the event, as voted for Mr. Walter Stankevich involved a group of people with alleged Cleveland Department of BAZA, which tilted the final by one vote in favor of Walter Stankevich. However, it soon became clear that no organized team or circle of BAZA with the formal features (or lists no, no folds anihto not paid) needed for the nomination, in Cleveland did not exist during the last decades at least. After members of Congress have collected the necessary signatures of 20% of the delegates to the Congress, which, in accordance with the Charter of the organization can recognize the elections and the "elected" head of illegitimate and call in zachargovy Congress.

Walter Stankevich knew about this fraud, but he did not recognize his undemocratic steps, in essence rejecting all contacts and cooperation, even with the heads of major departments BAZA - New York Vitaly Zaikov and New Jersey to Yuri Azarko. There is thus a conflict stirred up Walter Stankevich, similar to those that unfolded in the Belarusian American community in 1963 and 1984, respectively. Soon, New York and New Jersey to departments BAZA-recognized leadership of the Main Administrative Board headed by Walter Stankevich illegitimate because it failed to comply with applicable requirements of the Charter of BAZA.

At this time Walter Stankevich, instead go for mutual understanding in a democratic way and find a way out of conflict, as it would have made any responsible and honest leader, with all the energy come from to expand not only the split in the organization BAZA, but throughout the north Belarusian society -eastern United States.

- Obstacles for the Belarusian Museum in New York

We know its deliberate steps to destroy the Belarusian Museum in New York, the initiative on the establishment of which was based - that should be highlighted - from the new wave of immigration - from the young people who came to the U.S. early in this century. Rather than help the development of activities which gave the fruit in the first years of its existence - has attracted many new educated people, including young girls in our community - Mr. Stankevich, having a high status and prestige among the representatives of the old immigration and holding several senior positions in organizations Belarusian diaspora began to mislead he knew of the Belarusians. False and groundless abvinavachvavshy actively participated in the activities of people in the museum of money-laundering and other illegal activities (note - only in words!), Stankiewicz began sending e-mails, the apparent purpose of which was the termination of Belmuzeya in New York. Thus, it is in the attached copy of the letter calls to avoid any further agreement between the museum and the Church Council Rada St. Cyril of Turov in Brooklyn, in the public hall of the museum is arranged most of their shows, and eventually planned to deploy and permanent display in the lower areas of the building.

Accused Walter Stankevich representatives of the Museum, even in the fact that they appeal to the public asking for charitable donations. For Museum in New York, he is considered something illegal, but for example, is based in Kansas Center for Belarusian Studies (which incidentally operates or would have to start working and Museum), in which the leadership is, of course, included himself, on the announcements contained in various media.

What is the result we see today? BelMuz in New York, which for the first three years of its activities conducted more than 20 exhibitions, including the U.S. Congress, in the municipality of Oslo in Norway, which awarded the Nobel Prize, Estonsikm Parliament, the German Marshall Fund, the Belarusian community in New York , New Jersey, and Cleveland, in the last year almost ceased to function. A Belarusian community - mostly young people who had gathered on a regular basis for activities Belmuzeya now forced to look for new venues. It is known that they do not necessarily come together and not necessarily those meetings are now on Belarus, the arts, culture and history of our region ...

 - Capture of the Belarusian Fund and another expulsion of Belarusians

Another direction of Mr. Walter Stankevich fighter was Peter Krichevsky Fund. Perhaps dissatisfied with the number of their positions in the Belarusian organizations of the United States, he was with the chairman of the BNR Ivonka Survilla was introduced (again in the circumvention of the Constitution and the organization!) And as a member of the Board, and later became its chairman. One of the first steps in his new post in a ban on the monthly fee in the fund in the Quincy area members of BAZA, New York. And they're going the last few decades!

Simply forcing people to go look for new gathering place (under the guise of full-scale renovation, although the interest may be aware that there are no works in the collection is not conducted), Walter Stankevich did not even care about the conditions in which dozens of members of the Belarusians going to BASIS for their meetings and how they will do next.The real behavior of the head do not say anything ... That you do not like any leader, because of which many of us were thousands of miles from their homeland? But what to expect from a man who collected a few years ago from people who have just arrived in the U.S., $ 20 for the opportunity to listen to his "helpful" advice on how to live in the U.S. ...

- And the church BAOC - a place exclusively for the team of Walter Stankevich

But that's not all. Turning to the Main Justice BAZA members of the Parish CouncilCathedral of St. Cyril of Turov, he essentially subdued, and this body. As a result, in the parish were not accepted by some Belarusians who attend church more than a year, and more - members joining under false pretexts, refused to accept into their ranks IlkivaNicholas, who served his father, Vyacheslav (now Bishop Sviatoslav) with the 2002! And allfor what, perhaps? To avoid a vote not in their favor!

And what we see now in the main Cathedral of the Belarusian Autocephalous Orthodox Church? A year has passed after the decision to foaming at the mouth defending some members of the Parish Council Cathedral of St. Cyril of Turov (they are - members of the Main Administrative Board BAZA) and now the Sunday services begin in the presence oftwo or three people, celebrations and events are held, lunches are not prepared , interior and exterior repairs stopped.

- Play with the humble - get rid of those who disagree 

Are interesting and the most recent steps that made Walter Stankevich and his team in the position of Chairman of BAZA.

First, the Main Justice proposed to delete from the ranks of the organization ... the leaders of departments of New York and New Jersey Vital Bunny and Yuri Azarko for the fact that they booked a hall for the next meeting of Belarusians in North America in New Brunswick. Note that the Belarusians for desyatsigoddyav traditionally gathered it in New Brunswick, when the meeting was held in New Jersey, and that the event is held regional organization BAZA and PG participated only in the consultation level.

Second, the team was stvaorany BAZA Brooklyn office of the organization. It seems that finally something useful? But he was created, as seen in the already existing "uncontrollable Stankevich," New Erksakaga. And if you look closer, you'll see that its members are mostly far from Brooklyn. Obviously - this is another puppet in the hands of the structure of Walter Stankevich.

Let me remind you that the Foundation and Krichevsky, and the Cathedral in Brooklyn was created to unite Belarusians as places where people of different beliefs and faiths. This is stated in the archival documents created by people who founded them. And New York and New Jersey to Departments-BAZA, and Home Justice and BelMuz have inserted their goals the development of the Belarusian association of business and help the Belarusians and countrymen. Whether or not the activities of the most influential Belarusian U.S. is useful for our Belarusian diaspora to the United States, each output can own.
