BREST, 23 June (BelTA) - Belarus is a sovereign, independent state, and it will remain so, Belarus President Aleksandr Lukashenko said at a ceremony to lay wreaths in the Brest Fortress on the occasion of the 80th anniversary of the beginning of the Great Patriotic War on 22 June, BelTA has learned.
The president suggested taking a look at any color revolution, which has been organized in recent decades: they have done everything to explode society from the inside.
“And then they [the West] will come to ‘save' us. Scenarios have been written, roles have been assigned. We just turned out to be stronger and wiser. I dare say, even stronger than our predecessors in 1941, because we determine our own destiny. We are here to decide whether to provoke them or not, whether to wait until they break through and tear us apart or not. We are a sovereign, independent state, and will continue to be so," Aleksandr Lukashenko emphasized.
