MINSK. May 22 (Interfax) - Vladimir Adamushko, director of the archives department of the Belarusian Justice Ministry, has denied the existence of a Belarusian list of executed Polish officers.
"We have actively worked on this issue. The so-called Belarusian list does not exist and it probably cannot exist," Adamushko told a press conference in Moscow on Tuesday.
The list were made at the places where repression took place, he said.
Polish Ambassador to Belarus Leszek Sherepka said on May 10 that "there is a Polish 'shadow army,' so-called Katyn army, which had over 20,000 officers who were killed in 1940 on the orders of Stalin. They were buried in cemeteries in Russia and Ukraine."
"Belarus is the only country with no memory signs, although we believe that some 4,000 officers, including ethnic Belarusians, were killed in this land," he said.
