Andrei Sannikau: I do not know in what world I am now!
The released politician has told Euroradio about his first conversation with his son and explained why he is not planning anything at the moment.
Euroradio has phoned Andrei Sannikau when he was heading for Minsk from Vitsebsk.
Euroradio: It was impossible to contact you when you were in Syarhei Parsyukevich’s flat in Vitsebsk – journalists kept phoning you. Did you manage to talk to your wife and son?
Andrei Sannіkau: Of course, I phoned my wife, mother and son in the first place.
Euroradio: How did you son react to you voice?
Andrei Sannіkau: You know, we have not seen each other for 16 months. That is why he… I do not know how he reacted. But he said that he was a bit embarrassed. And I understand him.
Euroradio: You wife has commented on the news about your release: “I will not believe it until I see him free!” Did she finally believe when you phoned her?
Andrei Sannіkau: I have similar feelings. Until I reach home… I do not know in what world I am now!
Euroradio: But your friends and colleagues are near and you must feel that something has changed, mustn’t you?
Andrei Sannіkau: Of course, something has changed. But I have not understood it yet and I do not feel anything special at the moment.
Euroradio: What would you like to see at home? What ordinary things?
Andrei Sannіkau: I want to reach my home in the first place. I do not think about it. I’d like to hug my wife, son and mother. Everything else is secondary.
Euroradio: You have been released because you pled for mercy… What affected it?
Andrei Sannіkau: I would not like to comment on anything now, okay? Not now.
