MINSK, 26 January (BelTA) – Belarus President Aleksandr Lukashenko approved the appointment of Igor Lyashenko Director General of OAO Grodno Azot on 26 January, BelTA has learned.
The head of state noted that Igor Lyashenko knows Grodno Azot very well as he supervised the company when he was deputy prime minister and head of Belneftekhim Concern.
“It is a very important enterprise, a strategic one. We have already talked a lot about the enterprise and the importance of discipline there. If anything happens there, the entire Grodno would be infected. That is why we need the strictest discipline there, both technological and organizational one. The place should be put in order. Let me tell you frankly: no one can be spared or pitied for a breach of discipline there. God forbid something happens, and we will lose thousands of innocent people,” Aleksandr Lukashenko said.
Since May 2020, Igor Lyashenko has been in charge of the representative office of Gomeltransneft Druzhba in Minsk. He took up this post moving from the position of Deputy Prime Minister, to which he was appointed in August 2018. In the government, he supervised the petrochemical complex and industry. Prior to that, Igor Lyashenko headed Belneftekhim Concern for several years.
